A contrail to follow

About Me

"Rural Georgia shoe-gazer outfit helmed by brothers Matthew and Ethan McCarthy, A Contrail to Follow crafts dreamy and drone-afflicted 4 a.m. washes of candlelit guitar and reverberation. The group's sound gives a slow and psychedelic nod to the cannon of morphine music and emotions inspired by the likes of Low, Mazzy Star and Galaxie 500."
