If you love garage indie rock and shoegaze, you will love You All Will See‘s debut self-titled single. You All Will See is a Minneapolis-based music and art collective blending visual storytelling, and DIY practices. The project features Liam Heigis on violin, Toivo on bass, Ian on drums, and Alone Ranger (You All Will See) on guitar.

The track barely clocks in under two minutes, but definitely gets out (my) attention. It sounds as if My Bloody Valentine, a happy Joy Division, and The Stokes had a love child. So it’s a mix of Post-punk revival and Indietronica with a sound rooted in indie rock. I like the bold guitar tone choice. It has the kind of project identity that feels like it grew out of scattered late-night sessions across different cities. There is grit, that tinge of simple catchy indie garage rock melody in that bold messy raw sound.
The act draws inspiration from outsider art, cassette and vinyl culture of the 1990s and 2000s. Their aesthetic incorporates gritty visuals and minimalistic design, influenced by Bauhaus principles. They’re inspired by outsider artist Daniel Johnston’s practice of recording each cassette copy individually.
Physical media is central to their ethos. Their plan is to release a new single every month (often split cassettes), culminating in an LP. They are also a record label of the same name and actively sidestep the traditional label system. You know when indie was actually indie!
The music video presented in stop animation style offers a visual journey through the band’s first major US tour. It invites viewers to experience moments from flying to shows, staying in upscale hotels, and enjoying classic bites like Chicago hotdogs and Manhattan pizzas
It’s not only refreshing to hear the sound of this track but also the philosophy behind the act. With much curiosity, I am eager to see or rather “we all will see” what they’re upto next!
