“Our name refers to what we consider an antiquated
method of communication,” says Eric
Miranda, band leader and vocalist for the San Francisco-based foursome, In Letter Form. “Yes, we still write
and mail letters.” The band’s point of
view is made clear on its new single “Wait
Now,” which will appear on an upcoming In
Letter Form album, currently in production.
“We are sentimental about the way we go about writing
songs and performing them,” says Miranda.
“We want listeners to hear a close approximation of our truth.” Lyrically, the songs of In Letter Form deal with some of the harder of those truths: loss
of control, loss of love, loss of innocence, loss of relationships, family
members, and so on. Personal loss colors
the band’s music, not only since inception, but even to the point of this
writing, as Miranda’s best friend
passed away shortly after working on the band’s upcoming “Wait Now” music video.
“There’s something intrinsically contradictory in the
word combination ‘wait now’,” Miranda
says. “And this duality was very much present in my friend. The video will be
dedicated to him.”
Musically, In
Letter Form’s touchstones are clear, as well. The
Cure, Joy Division, Bauhaus, along with New Order, Depeche Mode, and The Jesus
and Mary Chain – they can all be heard on “Wait Now.” But where many
artists influenced by this important English musical moment fall short, In Letter Form excels. Theirs is that rare, reverential sound that
not only makes you want to revisit classic artists, but pushes you to want to
know more of the story behind the intriguing new band inspired by them.
“Wait Now” by In Letter
Form is out now. Another In Letter Form single and video “Reflecting The Rain” on the way. Members
of In Letter Form are available for
interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
