I'll Know To Believe In Sparrows

Immovable Objects started out as the performance and recording name for San Diego-based multi-instrumentalist Matt Gagin. After spending five years with San Diego band Waterline Drift, Gagin says he ...wanted to do something where I played a lot of different instruments and creativity wasn't stifled by preconception or personality conflicts. His first record, Hoping It Stays Just This Broken incorporated elements of indie rock, shoegaze and electronia into dense soundscapes. I had no intention of really making a record, I was just going to record when I felt like it and see what was coming out. If I liked it, cool, if not, then I didn't. I was really just making music for the sake of making music. For the follow-up record, Gagin decided to put together a live band that could play relentless instrumental rock, then capture that energy and emotion on tape. Enlisting the efforts of Paul Balmer (guitar), Brad Botbyl (guitar), Ted Donovon (drums) and fellow Waterline Drift alumnus Tim Peacock (bass), the quintet's sound has been compared to Pink Floyd, Explosions in the Sky, and Public Enemy's Fear of a Black Planet. After recording through the winter at Black Box Studios with Mario Quintero, the new album, titled I'll Know to Believe in Sparrows, is scheduled to be released in June 2012 on Hawnyawk Records. Says Gagin, I've read on record label websites that you should include your successes in your bio. The only true success we have is recording music that we like and not compromising it. So, if nothing else we have that.
