RRest stirs an after-hours ambiance with 'Recycle Bin'
RRest, Starr*Hustler, and Blake Rainey & His Demons play the Earl on Wed., July 17
- Allister Reynolds
- Andrew Teems and Wes Ables of RRest
Due out this October, the self-titled debut from Atlanta duo RRest comes together with a thick after-hours ambiance that settles on the atmospheric side of post-punk. "Recycle Bin" is a fitting entry point into Wes Ables (vocals, guitar, synth, and bass) and Andrew Teems' (lead guitar) shared chemistry. For this number, the lineup was filled out by Ables and Teems along with Warm In the Wake's James Taylor Jr (drums) and Daniel Barker (keys). The real brilliance here, though, comes across in the various guitar textures - some of which even bear a telltale din that sounds an awful lot like iPhone fidelity. And check out that backward guitar solo. Gorgeous.
