Meadow Announce Self-Titled Debut Album: Hear “Yon”

Meadow, a Bay Area band known for their post-hardcore sound, have unveiled their self-titled debut album. The band, originally peaceful and natural in nature, has undergone significant changes since their initial demos in 2023.

Led by artists Cole Baron and Ghemarson Deang, the band's new sound is captured in their lead single "Yon," a vast, crushing track that echoes the styles of Unwound and Deftones. Meadow's debut album, released through Cherub Dream, a prominent Bay Area label, promises to encapsulate a distinct moment in time, perhaps already passed.

The album features tracks like "Aleck," "Fiver," "Loosie," "Spindle," "Thanksgiving II," "B8," and "Animal."
