Bay Area band Meadow has announced a self-titled debut album, sharing the single "Yon" alongside the announcement, Stereogum reported. The name suggests something calm, but Stereogum described the group's actual sound as a huge, fuzzily angular guitar sound, a contrast the outlet drew directly between the peaceful image the word conjures and the band's music.
According to Stereogum, Meadow has already changed considerably in the time between forming and reaching this debut, becoming what the outlet called a whole other band by the time the album was ready.
That evolution suggests the self-titled record represents a specific, current version of the group rather than a look back at earlier material.
Further details on the album, including a release date, additional tracklist information or the band's lineup, were not included in the available reporting; the rest of Stereogum's coverage sits behind a subscriber login.
Fans of the indie and rock act will likely learn more as Stereogum and other outlets follow up on the announcement in the weeks ahead.
