Edith Pike are a brand new group from the lush glacial passes of the Colorado area. Entering with a quick spread of influences across their first track “Tunnel Twenty-Nine”, Edith Pike harkens back to the era of scrappier, lofi tinged demo recordings from the mid to late aughts, providing noisy playback amongst gravely-throated shouts for a gritty, yet DIY as fuck effect.

“...And Then It All Comes Down” would have rested comfortably on the first Emo Annihilation comp, it's driving guitars churning out heavy chugs provide the backdrop for glowering choruses and crashing cymbals that shatter like glass. I don't know who these kids are but the way they emulate a nostalgic era for me while also providing those touches of Modern Screamo really speak to me on a deeper level.

Their third track “Rushing Into a Burning Home” has all the makings of a contemporary Funeral Diner song with the grit to match, all the way down to the old movie sample it opens with. After they close out with a track titled “Kiss Me Here Beautiful For These Are Truly Our Last Days” I found myself cycling back to track one again and giving it another play-through.

Clocking in at about 12 minutes, this self-titled EP doesn't over stay it's welcome and we’re looking forward to Edith Pike's next offering.
