BlurCurve

Born from Grunge, BlurCurve have always been somewhere musically in-between. Neither Grunge nor Progressive Metal, Shoegaze nor Hardcore, BlurCurve have forged their own path toward 2023’s Pluto & The Fool.

What started as two lifelong friends jamming to whatever felt good and playing as loud as possible, turned into a journey of self-discovery on the themes of addiction, loss and regrowth. Singer Alythia Scully (they/them) says as much when discussing their creative process toward writing the songs on Pluto & The Fool, “I wrote these songs to empower listeners to wake up to their potential and to their own power; all while processing grief, codependency, oppression and our society’s need to ‘keep up with the Joneses.’ Songs like Initiation speak to the self-power highlighted, where lines like, ‘words of a language that doesn't exist’ is meant to dispel the gatekeeping that one practice or doctrine is better than another. There is no ‘language of creation,’ nobody can teach you anything you won't learn through stillness and observation.” This introspection is met with the instrumental sonic landscape crafted by other members Kris Heuer (Guitar, he/him), Bob Furniss (Bass, he/him) and Justin Westplate (Drums, he/him) where influences like Catherine Wheel intersect with Dillinger Escape Plan and Gojira. The entirety of Pluto & The Fool capitalizes on these genre and stylistic intersections to provide a finished product and stage show that lives up to the band’s mantra: We like it loud & fast.
