Springhouse’s From Now To OK “Works,” Writes The Midlands Rocks

The Midlands Rocks writes, “Who knows why some bands only attain cult status whilst less talented bands reap commercial rewards? In the case of New York trio Springhouse, that question is all the more puzzling. In many ways they were too far ahead of the curve; shoegaze before the term was coined, they signed to Caroline Records and were the first major label band of their ilk to tour the USA. In doing so they blazed a trail for others to follow, as those waiting in the wings refined their modus operandi for mass consumption. If the band were bitter it didn’t show, and after a lengthy hiatus they returned [in 2008] with their third album, From Now To OK… fans of Springhouse’s original tenure will be enamoured by the album’s dreamy aesthetic, yet the band have taken a more acoustic, folk rock turn, and it’s one that puts a fresh spin on familiar themes.”
