The Union Trade made their debut in 2007 with the release of their
first EP, Now the Swell (Tricycle), which was quickly followed up by
their first full-length album. 2008's Everyday Including (Tricycle)
laid out the band's vision of a lush cinematic post rock sound built on
heavily distorted guitars awash in delay, epic dynamics, and minimalist
vocals. Garnering the band praise in national and international press,
and fans around the world, Everyday Including also earned The Union
Trade an official showcase at SXSW 2009.
With the addition of new drummer David Elrod to the founding line-up
of Don Joslin (guitar), Eric Salk (guitar & keyboards) and Nate Munger
(bass & lead vocals), The Union Trade add a dynamic new element to
their sound. This new energy is captured on their upcoming EP, Why We
Need Night, set for release on February 8th 2011 on Tricycle Records.
Over the course of their upcoming EP, Why We Need Night (Tricycle),
The Union Trade follow the contours of proven terrain and map the
outlines of an evolving sound. In moments throughout, the band strips
away the epic layers of their first album to expose the intimacy of a
beautiful guitar line, the gravity of a simple piano progression, or
the emotion and lyricism of a vocal performance. Energized by dynamic
rhythms, the EP progresses from the familiar into new territory marked
by a broader range of analog and acoustic keyboards, electronic
elements and The Union Trade's most concise song structures to date.
Why We Need Night captures The Union Trade as they continue to define
the space where instrumental rock influences meet a more mainstream
indie rock sound.
