NASHVILLE—Nashville power trio Lockstep announced their debut album Tuesday. The record is titled I Know What I Saw. This confirms the band’s long-held belief. They knew their fans saw something. The band specializes in extra-heavy shoegaze. Their sound is notoriously difficult to describe. But everyone agrees it is very loud. Lockstep formed in 2021. They quickly developed a cult following. Their early shows were legendary. Audiences reported seeing things. They were unsure what they witnessed. Now, the band offers an explanation.
Album Title Verifies Paranormal Experiences
The album’s title track, “Ash In The Water,” dropped today. It features a punishingly thick guitar tone. The drums sound like thunder. The vocals are buried deep. “We always felt people were telling the truth,” said lead guitarist Bartholomew “Barty” Crumple. Crumple also serves as the band’s official Seer. “They’d come up after shows. They’d whisper about spectral lights. They talked about disembodied voices. We knew we had to validate their experiences.” Lockstep signed with Profound Lore. The label is known for extreme music. They were eager to release I Know What I Saw.
The album was recorded with producer Zac Montez. Montez is a respected ambient musician. He is also a renowned ghost hunter. “Working with Lockstep was intense,” Montez stated. “The studio became a portal. I saw things I cannot unsee. I heard sounds that defied physics. It was a perfect match.” The band hopes the album provides catharsis. They want listeners to feel validated. This is especially true for those who have seen things. The album’s sonic landscape aims to reflect shared consciousness. It is a heavy, communal experience. The band believes I Know What I Saw will be a landmark release. It confirms the unconfirmable. It makes the ineffable audible. Listeners can expect a sonic journey. They will experience catharsis. They will also hear loud guitars.
Confirmation Through Distortion
Fans are already embracing the news. “I saw a floating teapot at their last show,” said superfan Brenda Glarth. Glarth is President of Lockstep’s Official Eyewitness Support Group. “I was so relieved when I heard the album title. It means I’m not crazy. Barty Crumple said I wasn’t crazy. Now the whole world knows.” The band is currently booking tour dates. They plan to play select venues. These venues are known for unusual activity. The band’s live show is a visceral experience. It is often described as terrifying. But now, it is also cathartic. Fans can finally process their experiences. They can do so through music. The band is committed to this mission.
