LOOSE CHOIR: Shy Side Vinyl LP

Not every band announces themselves. Some of them just put a record out and let it find the people it was meant for, and Shy Side, the 2024 debut from Loose Choir, is that kind of record.

Loose Choir are a US indie and alternative rock act working in a space that doesn't have a clean genre tag right now, which is usually a good sign. Shy Side has the kind of texture that rewards a full listen rather than a shuffle, sitting somewhere between the quieter end of grunge-adjacent alternative and something more open and atmospheric. It's a 2024 release arriving on vinyl the same year it dropped, which means this is the version they wanted you to hear it on.
