All Feels

Scrambling around somewhere between lo-fi pop, indie rock and dreamy basement jams you'll find All Feels. Fueled by introspection, longing and somewhat sarcastic assessments on modern life, the band can be found most often at DIY shows across their western Massachusetts home. Led by longtime western Massachusetts DIY obsessive, Candace Clement (Footings, Bunny's A Swine) and joined by bassist Will Meyer (Stoner Will & the Narks, Bucket), guitarist Noah Dowd (True Jackie), guitarist and vocalist Kate Dowd (True Jackie, Ex-Temper) and drummer Jon Shina (Jon Shina, ICICL), All Feels casts a wide sonic net, playing with the genres and influences that capture their attention. Ignoring conventional musical pairings in favor of indulging personal obsessions All Feels creates a melange of dazzling, surprising stunner vocals and dreamy rock adjacent, delightfully nostalgic melodies.

As a creator, Clement is drawn to borders, boundaries and intersections. Songs are often born out of a scaffolding of loops — notes, clicks, the presence and absence of both building on each other. Hard and soft edged sounds are trapped in a container that serves as a foundation, much like a frame for a piece of art or a page for prose. The sounds are both dissonant and meditative, often droning with a slight beat. By layering more classic melodic structures and pop-song frameworks on top of these loops, All Feels plays within the boundaries and borders between freeform genres like noise or drone and more standard genres like pop or rock as they intersect.

"In any shape or form, from layered synth pop to glimmering indie, it seems that Clement’s finding a sweet spot between personal reflection and gluey melodies" (Dan Goldin, Post-Trash).

All Feels debut album, THIS PLACE IS A MESSAGE, was released in October 2024 and was recorded with by Monte Arnstam at 1357 Recording Studio in Greenfield and Justin Pizzoferrato (the engineer behind albums with Dinosaur Jr, Parquet Courts, and the Pixies) at Sonelab in Easthampton, MA.
