Heaters, an alternative band – if you’re comfortable with that phrase – from Grand Rapids, Michigan, combine a blend of swirling, reverbed psych through a forcefield of distorted vocals that somehow soothe and stimulate your sensitive ears. Their new album Matterhorn drops October 20th on Brooklyn label Beyond Beyond is Beyond Records, and we’re streaming the whole thing right here. As founding member and guitarist/vocalist Nolan Krebs says, “We called this record Matterhorn because these songs kind of came to life around a European tour earlier this year, our first time over there as a four-piece that was exploring a wider range of sounds than the sort of surf-rock shit we started out really interested in. Between our experiences getting lost in the Swiss Alps and trying to write more towering, monolithic songs, it seemed fitting.” So press play, and get lost on their ride. –Maya Eslami
