Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter: A short introduction

The band’s current lineup consists of Jesse Sykes (lead vocals/guitar), Phil Wandscher (guitar/vocals), Bill Herzog (bass/vocals), and Eric Eagle (drums/vocals). Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, the Sweet Hereafter’s musical style is distinguished by layers of eerie (yet catchy!) melody ensconced in drifting wisps of sound that seems — at least from a metaphorical standpoint — akin in some ways to the layer of misty fog that is a near-constant in the Pacific Northwest.

Given all of the music primers going around on Tumblr, I figured I should do one for Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter, mostly because more people need to know about this excellent band. There are YouTube videos embedded at the link, but you can download sample songs at the band’s Barsuk Records page; Daytrotter.com also has some live session songs that are available for streaming or download.
