Tulsa, Oklahoma’s Downward just hit the road a few days ago opening Movements‘ spring tour alongside Citizen and Scowl, and now they surprise-released their sophomore album (which, like their 2018 debut album, is self-titled). It pulls from shoegaze, slowcore, and emo with downer vibes and a dusty exterior in a way that sounds like Cloakroom at their most Codeine-obsessed or a hazier Pedro the Lion. It’s a cool record, and you can stream it below.
The tour with Movements, Citizen, and Scowl hits NYC’s Brooklyn Paramount on March 14, and you can find all remaining dates listed below.
Movements also recently released the new single “Where I Lay” before the tour, and Scowl just put out the latest taste of their upcoming Dead Oceans debut Are We All Angels yesterday.
