About Me



Charmparticles are back and have triumphantly delivered their first full-length album, Alive in the Hot Spell. An exquisite hour of swirling, dreamlike melodies and hooks, Alive in the Hot Spell retains familiar Charmparticles elements—Pamela Rooney’s haunting vocals, Sarah FitzGerald’s shimmering guitar work and Nathanael Merrill’s gigantic drums—but the album’s 12 tracks contain several surprises from the band mostly known for its shoegaze roots. Songs range from spare ballads to bombastic, angry rockers—with a healthy dose of catchy, pretty pop songs in between. With Alive in the Hot Spell, Charmparticles manage several new feats—and they sound more than ever like the band they were meant to be.
