The Courtneys drift back to the sound of the early ’90s, drawing from strong influences including Teenage Fanclub, Pavement, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, and The Clean. Guitarist Courtney Loove, bassist Sydney Koke and drummer/lead singer Jen Twynn Payne come together through a passionate collaborative songwriting process to deliver a special blend of fuzzy “artisanal grunge”.
