Montreal Pop-punkers Gulfer, are now in their tenth year as a band. To celebrate, the band have shared a new double-single including the tracks “Barely,” and “Greetings”. Gulfer will be playing a run of North American dates with Pinegrove, starting July 21st in Montreal.

“Greetings” boasts inventive drumming and playfully intricate guitar to set the scene for a song that attempts to unpack the abundant contradictions and debaucheries that comprised our youth. There’s a hint of personal introspection in the lyrics, but singer/guitarist Vincent Ford avoids explicit resolution in favor of open-ended narration. On “Barely” the band’s impressionistic side emerges with an upbeat, pithy composition bookended by droning atmospherics. Exploring the transactional nature of so many of our relationships, singer/guitarist Joe Therriault uses “Barely” to speak on attempts at reciprocity of kindness that ultimately fall short in our over-transactionalized world.
