Listen to lead single "Bystand" now Published May 04, 2021 It's been two and a half years since Montreal art-rock trio Dresser dropped their self-titled EP, and they've finally announced a follow-up.  Seventeen Block and Then Some, their debut full-length album, is set to be released on June 4, and the band have just shared a first taste of the new LP. "Bystand" zips by with spindly riffs and Finn Dalbeth's yelping vocals, reminiscent of storied locals Ought, before amping up into a tight post-punk climax.

What does “home” mean to you? Is it a person? A place? Or a feeling you can’t quite explain? As a child, growing up in the Carolinas, home for me was all of those things.

When you were a child, who was the person you most looked up to, the one you hoped to be just like when you grew up? For me, it wasn’t one person. It was a combination of two. Not just one or the other, but an odd sort of mixture of two distinctly different personalities. You won’t find their names in history books or on monuments or in lists of great achievement.  They weren’t rich or famous or powerful, at least not in a worldly sense. Their looks, by any standard, would leave much to be desired, though they didn’t seem to mind it at all. They were always unpretentious, never the s...
