Chimes, a post-punk and goth/rock band from Florida, has released their debut music video for “Dovetail,” directed by Noelle Shuck, showcasing a mix of live performance footage and a shift toward a synth-driven sound. The song, featured on their album Pile of Parts, explores darker human experiences with themes of loss and disconnection, reflecting the weight of living. Released on May 23 via Ashtray Monument, the album is available on Bandcamp. Founded in 2019, Chimes brings together musicians with roots in notable Gainesville bands.
As Pile of Parts delves into the depths of human experience, how do you think the integration of synth elements alters the emotional impact of post-punk music, traditionally driven by guitars and drums?
