Born where the dustbowl never died, Shallowater sonically animates the bleak, gritty landscape of West Texas. Their debut album, "There Is A Well," was released last year to high acclaim with its masterful use of slowcore, post-hardcore, and country. Between deeply sad ballads and hard-hitting distortion, Shallowater's music pushes the boundaries of conventional genres to create their own Americana: a dark, barren soundscape of their home, a Cormac McCarthy novel brought to life.
