Recorded and mixed by Jonathan Boulet (Party Dozen, Body Type) Through Today is a significant leap forward from Chimers' self-released and self-titled 2021 debut. An album that sta rted as a whisper and turned into a roar, regularly re-pressed as the band played shows across the country as the support act of choice to such luminaries as Mudhoney, Built To Spill, R.V.G, The Mark Of Cain, Scientists, Body Type, Victims, Screamfeeder, Civic and Cable Ties. For their follow-up, Chimers moved out of the garage and into Wollongong's Stranded Studios. The band made use of Boulet's lightning-fast approach, recording 13 songs in just three days with executive rule ultimately trimming the fat to 10 for the album. Traces of late-eighties post-hardcore and alterna-sounds (Fugazi, Sonic Youth, Hüsker Dü) seep in and out of the album, but with Chimers direct and no unnecessary fills approach, the sound is always uniquely theirs. Padraic's passionate, heart-on-sleeve vocal approach and singular, spidery guitar lines are intensified by the pummelling rhythms of drummer Binx. Jono's minimalist approach and the collective mindset have resulted in a timeless album that sounds personal and quite unlike anything else to come soaring out of the Australian underground. Show more
