Long Island Outfit Macseal Share Their New Song "Graduating Steps"
/Long Island outfit Macseal are pleased to share their new single “Graduating Steps”. The song is the latest preview of their upcoming full-length debut, “Super Enthusiast”, out November 8th on 6131 Records (Julien Baker, Worriers). Working with engineer Justin Pizzoferrato (Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr, Pixies), the Long Island outfit explore a range of joyful guitar pop and multi-part harmonies tempered with math rock riffs and J Mascis inspired solos. All expertly paired with a sometimes morose and self-deprecating lyricism sure to win over more than a few David Bazan fans.
“Graduating Steps” follows lead single “Always Hazy” which The Alternative described as “the perfect tune to coast down a highway to, hair whipping around your face with all of your windows wide open.” Macseal is currently wrapping up a national tour of the US that took them from East to West and back again throughout August and September.
Macseal is one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the vibrant, historically thriving Long Island, New York music scene in recent memory. Their unique ability to craft hook-laden earworms that also feature relatable lyrical narratives is uncanny and is impressively matched by their electrifying live shows.
Following the release of three EPs from 2015-2018, the band entered the studio with Justin Pizzoferrato in March 2019 to record their first proper full length. The resulting album, “Super Enthusiast”, is a not just the culmination of their honed songwriting over the previous few years, but also marks a decidedly new chapter for Macseal sonically. While their trademark sound remains present, a new maturity exudes throughout, marked by some of the most infectious music the band has made to date.
