We scraped the digits off of Pinback’s first couple albums, and especially Summer in Abaddon.  We’ve forever loved their lock-stop, pristine and elliptical guitar and bass interplay, melodic and deceptively-serene sounds, and vocals and lyrics that always insinuate themselves into our hearts and minds.  After a five-year hiatus, the band (guitarist Rob Crow and bassist Zack Smith, with drummer Chris Prescott) is back with a new album entitled Information Retrieved.  Pinback appeared on WNYC’s Soundcheck this week to perform three songs off the new album.  And they pull it off with perfect Pinback aplomb.

Check out a video of the band performing the mesmerizing song Proceed to Memory on Soundcheck.  You can listen to the entire Soundcheck session below the video or go HERE.  After, check out their official video for song Sherman off the new album.

And don’t forget:  Water!  Fire!  Rain!  Inhale!
