Washington, D.C.’s Skymender returns with a four-song stunner that sharpens their celestial chaos into a tighter, bolder exploration of noise and melody. Building on the shoegaze-adjacent alchemy of their acclaimed debut, this EP reaffirms their “dream-pop everything bagel” recipe: a swirl of Lush’s sighing grandeur, My Bloody Valentine’s tectonic shimmer, and D.C. post-hardcore’s nervy soul.

You can hear the new self-titled EP in all the usual places, and order CDs and tapes directly from Steadfast Records. Handstand will also be getting copies of both versions in the distro soon!
