Listen to Koji's Four-Song EP, 'Fury'

Some real heavy classic indie rock influence on these.

Koji says he’s spent a lot of time lately revisiting bands like Guided by Voices and Superchunk and Built to Spill. That should be pretty evident on his new EP, Fury. Over these four songs, the solo artist delves into those indie rock vibes. So anyone who grew up hanging out in record stores and tying a flannel shirt around their waist in the 90s should feel at home with these four songs. And in retrospect, that was a really bad style choice. But Koji proves that the music holds up. Here’s Koji himself on it:

"Making work isn't ever linear and sometimes you land in familiar spaces. With Fury, in both songwriting and production, we wound up making something that shows shades of bands like Superchunk or our reverence for all things Walter Schriefels while exploring relationship with a more mature lens."

Fury is available from No Sleep Records on June 16. Order it here. Koji is on a big ol’ tour right now. Check out the dates below.
