It Looks Sad. originally began playing shows in early 2012 under the
name It Looks Sad, That's Why I Said It's You. After a few line-up
shifts the band emerged in late 2013 under the shortened name, It Looks
Sad. In the Winter of 2013 the band recorded a handful of shimmering,
sharp guitar pop / post-punk songs that echo the influence of bands like
Surfer Blood and Beach Fossils. Along with the shortened moniker, It
Looks Sad. professes a leaner, more straight-forward approach with their
new material. The band's live show is also something to behold as their
songs are given a bit more power and room to breathe. Hometown label,
Tiny Engines, will release the band's proper Self-Titled debut in the
Summer of 2014.
