Massage in KEXP!

"The third album from this LA-based band is another sharp set of classic indie pop and melancholic New Wave that’s carried by the band’s jangly guitars, lively rhythms, lush keyboards, dreamy melodies, and reflective lyrics"

Massage – Raven Sings The Blues A record so sweet one label couldn’t contain it. The new album from longtime favorites Massage is out on a trifecta of trusted sources (Mt. St. Mtn, Bobo Integral, Prefect Records) and it’s been well worth the four year wait for new material from the band. To be fair, they’ve been pretty busy away from the studio as well, navigating loss, love, parenting, strife, struggle, and joy. All of it gets its due on Coaster, the band’s most realized vision yet. In the past Massage hasn’t wanted for softness or suppleness, but both seem to be standout signifiers of the new record. Produced with Andrew Brassell, who helped out with their interim EP In Gray & Blue, the new record is doused in spiraling guitars, downy keys, and the kind of smudged sonics that make heartache heal in the embrace of their blurry bounty.

"It’s been a pretty packed year for indie pop, but if you walk away from 2025 without Coaster on the turntable, you’re coming up short"

"the brightness of the tune certainly cements the group’s infectiousness, pulling in some textured vocal work throughout that adds this brilliant layer of depth to the rush of ringing guitars"

Fading Out, by Massage from the album Coaster

New single 💫 "Fading Out" ... come for the big guitars, stay for the bass melody, ascend during the bridge

Saw Horsegirl last night and it was both excellent and super inspiring — they’ve stripped it all back and what’s left are Songs and Spirit

Amazing stuff

Blueprint YouTube video by David Kilgour - Topic

Today I'm listening (again) to "Here Come the Cars" and "Blueprint" is really singing for me. How does Kilgour make music this simple sound this distinct and timeless? Legend www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjby...

Thanks! Excited for people to hear the LP. Took ages but we're happy with it

Coaster, by Massage 10 track album

We're on Bluesky now....... hi! Check out the first single "Daffy Duck" from our upcoming LP "Coaster," coming in Oct 🤠 massagetheband.bandcamp.com/album/coaster

“Daffy Duck” is Massage at their best, smelting jangle & synth-pop into a single that’s bittersweet & beautiful. Hung on the perfect melancholy of Gabi Ferrer’s vocals, the song carves out a corner for the kind of decisions that crystalize us into adulthood, the ones that leave a scar bit.ly/3IVd0WN
