Released on October 11, 2024, “Counting Corners” by Denton, Texas-based band, Kashmere Mammoths is an enchanting dive into indie garage rock infused with surfy nostalgia and disco-era charm. Comprising Brandon Johnson (vocals, guitar), Wyatt Ruten (lead guitar), Carson Struck (drums), and Zack Vinson (bass), the band pulls from a vast pool of influences, from the Beach Boys to Tears for Fears, crafting a sound that feels both retro and refreshingly modern.
“Counting Corners” serves as a sonic oasis, that provides a mental pause to reset and recalibrate. Produced by Carson Aday and the skilled team at Jupiter Records, the track opens with fuzzy guitars that set the tone for a dreamy escape. The drums tumble in with a lively cadence, laying the groundwork for Brandon Johnson’s delicate, high, and soothing vocals, which wispily float through the mix.
The guitars are the heartbeat of the song, building a lush, dreamy wall of sound that wraps listeners in a warm haze. Their reverberating texture echoes the Beach Boys’ surf-rock vibe but is modernized with an indie garage-rock edge. The overall atmosphere feels like a calming daydream, perfect for moments of introspection or decompression.
With upcoming releases like “Metaphors,” which promises to delve into themes of ambition and love, Kashmere Mammoths are carving out a unique niche in the indie scene.
Listen to “Counting Corners” by Kashmere Mammoths to give yourself that much-needed escape into the world of fuzzy guitars, soothing vocals, and introspective calm.
