Emerge
Petrichor
Scorchin' Records

Seattle’s Emerge delivers something a little different to Scorchin’s door. ‘Petrichor’ or “the pleasant smell that accompanies rain after a dry spell” (save you looking it up!) is reasonably title-illustrative. It’s also relatively nippy and mucho punchy, but with a refreshingly cooler core. ‘Progressive’ would be too much to say, but balancing distortion and drive with ether and genuine presence, it walks a fine line well.
