Other Passengers first emerged on the underground NYC music scene in March 2004 and quickly grabbed attention with their moody and dramatic sound: at times loud and jarring and in an instant moving to the realm of eerie and ethereal space creating a collage of post-punk psychedelia that reflects the dichotomy of the city: isolation among millions. In October 2004, they released their debut EP, Is It Nothing to You, All Those Who Pass By?. Spannning 22 minutes, the five members draw influence from a wide range of envelope pushing artists past and present like Can, Bauhaus, Sonic Youth, early Pink Floyd, Eno, RZA, Spacemen 3. Their music is intensified in a live setting. Writhing, twisting movements epitomize the band on stage. They link together cohesive chaotic moments and transcendent catharsis on stage. The band celebrated entering 2005 by relocating to a new home/rehearsal space in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn and wrote the material for their first full length. Their first full length was recorded this past August just north of New Orleans minutes before Hurricane Katrina. The UK label Someting in Construction will be releasing the yet-to-be titled recoding this fall.
