ALL FEELS

Somewhere between lo-fi pop, indie rock, and basement jams you'll find All Feels spinning around on the hamster wheel of the music scene fueled by introspection, longing, and somewhat sarcastic assessments of modern life. Based in western Massachusetts, All Feels is lead by Candace Clement (Footings, Bunny's A Swine) and joined by bassist Will Meyer (Stoner Will & the Narks, Bucket), guitarist Noah Dowd (True Jackie), and drummer Jon Shina (Jon Shina/ICICL). All Feels casts a wide sonic net, playing with the genres and influences that capture their attention in such a way that ignores conventional musical pairings in favor of indulging personal obsessions; thus creating a melange of dazzling, surprising stunner vocals and dreamy rock adjacent, delightfully nostalgic melodies. 

As a creator, Clement is drawn to borders, boundaries and intersections. Songs are often born out of a scaffolding of loops — notes, clicks, the presence and absence of both building on each other. Hard and soft edged sounds are trapped in a container that serves as a foundation, much like a frame for a piece of art or a page for prose. The sounds are both dissonant and meditative, often droning with a slight beat. By layering more classic melodic structures and pop-song frameworks on top of these loops, All Feels plays within the boundaries and borders between freeform genres like noise or drone and more standard genres like pop or rock as they intersect. 

Clement spent the last two decades composing and performing music in many formations — as a guitarist, as a singer, as a drummer, in an ensemble, and, eventually, at the helm of projects like this one. "In any shape or form, from layered synth pop to glimmering indie, it seems that Clement’s finding a sweet spot between personal reflection and gluey melodies" (Post-Trash). 

All Feels forthcoming LP, THIS PLACE IS A MESSAGE, was recorded with Justin Pizzoferrato, the engineer behind albums with Dinosaur Jr, Parquet Courts, and the Pixies, at Sonelab in Easthampton, MA; and then mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music.
