Four Nights In Loring: Nobody + Red Pens at Loring Park
Twin Cities duo Red Pens' debut record, Reasons, is a labor of love in more than one sense of the word. For one thing, guitarist-vocalist Howard W. Hamilton III and drummer Laura F. Bennett are a couple outside of band practice. But Reasons' driving, insistent take on shoegaze-heavy indie rock is also a testament to the band's determined passion for working on something until it just feels right. Hamilton's skill at DIY production served him well in previous bands like his early-'00s one-man electronica project Busy Signals, and he's brought it to bear again on Reasons, which he recorded, engineered, and mixed himself.
