This 2013 album is a document of Exist in transition, grappling with the creative stagnation that followed their brief moment of critical attention. The raw production captures the band at their most isolated and uncertain.
- The album was recorded in a single week in a dilapidated warehouse in Tacoma, Washington. It was self-released on CD-R and limited vinyl in December 2013. No singles were officially released from the album, and it charted nowhere.
- The band’s frontman, Mark Shneider, has stated that the album’s title track “Sunlight” was written in a single, cathartic session fueled by cheap whiskey and a broken drum machine.
- The album is notable for its stark sonic palette and lyrical themes of urban decay and disillusionment, which were somewhat out of step with the more optimistic indie rock trends of the time.
Exist are a Seattle-based indie rock band. They are best known for their fusion of 90s-inspired alternative rock with modern electronic textures.
