Trouble in Mind

Lithics is an American post-punk band hailing from Portland, Oregon. With their unique blend of angular guitar riffs, driving basslines, and propulsive drumming, they quickly gained a reputation for their distinctive sound within the underground music scene. Although they disbanded in August 2022, Lithics left a lasting impact on the genre with their raw energy and thought-provoking lyrics.

During their active years, Lithics drew inspiration from a diverse range of artists including Erik Nervous, Warm Bodies, B Boys, BB Eye, Drahla, Maraudeur, Gee Tee, Hierophants, Vintage Crop, Spread Joy, Smirk,Crack Cloud Stuck,French Vanilla Marbled Eye LIIEK Uranium Club Diode N0V3L and Omni. This eclectic mix of influences contributed to the band's ability to create music that was both familiar yet refreshingly original.

While Lithics may no longer be performing together as a band,Lithic's legacy lives on through their recordings and live performances. Their music continues to resonate with fans who appreciate their unapologetic approach to post-punk and experimental rock. Whether you're discovering them for the first time or revisiting their discography,Lithic's influence can still be felt today in the vibrant world of alternative music.

New Wave / Post Punk

After introducing themselves to the world with 2016's Borrowed Floors (Water Wing) and throwing down the gauntlet with 2018's Mating Surfaces (Kill Rock Stars), Lithics make the jump to Trouble In Mind for Tower of Age. This is music in ellipses... a circular communication and a fusion of decades worth of musical insight into a singular refraction of thought and sound. Guitars plunk and scratch, while rhythms pulse and syncopate, tightly wound around an imagist's philosophy to "use absolutely no word that does not contribute to the presentation." The band's austere approach to composition and wordplay elevates them above and beyond bands seeking similar sounds. It's not that they use less, it's HOW they use less. For fans of Bush Tetras, Shopping, Delta 5, Pylon, Y Pants etc.
