These Beautiful Things
Guest Directors
Swallowed up By a shiny page That holds promises Of another age Hollowed out And fill the empty space With indulgences Of convenience and sublime taste These beautiful things are consuming me All these beautiful things are consuming me Robe regret Like Diderot We’re the slaves to new And the friends to faux You fall asleep Now I can dream About light from stars That you cannot, you cannot see These beautiful things are consuming me All these beautiful things are consuming me

"Guest Directors’ debut EP 'These Beautiful Things' is jam-packed with ear-caressing reverb-soaked soundscapes, toned-down and mood-setting vocals, and really sharp songwriting all throughout its four tracks." - Northwest Music Scene

Guest Directors started as a casual side project between members of current Seattle bands The Navins, Mutiny Mutiny and These People Here. As collaborations turned into songs, long-time guitarists stepped up to singing roles and a sound started developing. Elements of post-shoegaze rock, dream pop, power pop and noise all make an appearance, but the songs don’t fit easily in a specific genre.

Sounds like: raindrops beating up evergreens.

For fans of: spooky soulful music, guitar interplay, female vocals, effects pedals, fireflies, alien blips and elliptical distortion fog.
