First gaining notoriety with the LPs Children of Desire(2012),† which†Pitchfork†hailed for its glistening and emotive,†ear-bleeding noise pop, and then Totale Nite(2013), which NME likened to†a cultural jump-start, Merchandise continue their ascent with their highly-anticipated new album, After The End out August 26 on 4AD. ? Drawing from too many places to be classified punk, theyve certainly been informed by its ethics, earning all theyve achieved. Still self-recording and producing their music, this time over a six month period in the house they share in Tampa, After The End is a real achievement in showing what bands can achieve themselves.
