People Like You (Really From) – Verse

Vinyl, LP, Album

After several years of making a name for themselves in the small DIY house show circuit in the Northeast, the indie jazz outfit have finished their sophomore album, Verse. Incorporating improvisation, classical guitar, breakbeats, a punk ethos, literary references, and beautiful pop melodies, People Like You has developed a sound that they can truly call their own.

Really From aims to explore themes of place, self, and genuine emotion through music as their creative, unifying outlet. The Boston-based band derive their sound from influences like Philip Glass, Japanese Math Rock, Avante-Garde Jazz, and Minimalism. Over the years, they have gone through several lineup changes but now consist of Chris Lee-Rodriguez on guitar and vocals, Michi Tassey on synth bass, keys, and vocals, Matt Hull on trumpet and Sander Bryce on Drums. Instrumental improvisation and raw vulnerability underlie the diverse collective’s refined musicality without sounding like a gimmick.
