The Early + BBSitters Club + Jessica Risker

The Early began in northern New Jersey in 2004 as a band of high school buddies coming of age at the apex of indie rock and fixated on the “post-rock” sounds of Do Make Say Think, Jim O’Rourke and Tortoise. Since then the group has had multiple reincarnations, but most recently in the two-piece of Alex Lewis (guitars, synthesizers) and Jake Nussbaum (drums, electronics). Reunited in Philadelphia in 2019, Alex and Jake have spent the past six years reinventing their shared musical language, infusing the textural grandeur of post-rock with the communicational intimacy of jazz improvisation and the patient grooves of minimalism and electronica.
