With their first two singles, “Magpie” and “Dean,” the band has earned praise for their raw, unflinching songwriting and quietly powerful approach to heavy subject matter, all delivered through a sound reminiscent of ‘90s indie rock staples. Today, the band shares “Corkscrew Drawers,” the third single from their debut release, Capture The Flag, arriving June 26th. Comprised of lead singer and guitarist, Tahlia Amanson, Aiden Velazquez on bass, and McCabe Teems on drums, the trio's sound is inspired by 90's indie legends like Yo La Tengo, Pavement, Electrelane and Sonic Youth. Like much of the album, “Corkscrew Drawers” serves as a deeply personal and cathartic release, pairing haunting strings and lush guitar work with Amanson’s evocative vocals.  "My mother always saved all the corks from her wine bottles, packing them away in a kitchen drawer, proposing one day to use them for an “art project.” Amanson shares. "It always felt like a constant reminder of the disease that surrounds alcoholism, lingering throughout the many houses we lived in. This song was written at an extremely low point in my relationship with my mother. On Capture The Flag, Myra Lee refuses to hold back, both in their craft and in their commitment to deeply personal storytelling. The album was recorded over two days in a basement studio in the Lower East Side. The band live tracked six songs with engineer Jeremy Harris (Devendra Banhart, Hand Habits, Allegra Krieger) and sessions were mixed and mastered by producer Calvin Lauber (Boygenius, Julien Baker) in Memphis. The result is a multi-instrumental yet intimate collection that grapples with themes of alcoholism, sexuality, and grief. With Capture The Flag, Myra Lee deliver a raw, evocative, and bittersweet debut. "Corkscrew Drawers" is out June 5th. Capture The Flag is out June 26th via all DSPS.
