Water Damage is a collective of ten musicians from one town, with a sound expanded by guitarist David Grubbs and saxophonist Patrick Shiroishi. Their music is slow and immersive, with four long tracks unfolding at a measured, hypnotic pace. The band's approach blends elements of drone, trance, and rock, evoking a gradual, powerful transformation—like a creeping force reshaping the landscape. Influences range from Fugazi to the Shocklee Brothers, while their relentless sound challenges listeners to surrender to its weight. As Sasha Frere-Jones puts it, Water Damage knows exactly what they’re doing—whether you do or not.
