Two years ago, we named For Everest a Band To Watch based on the strength of their two early EPs, No Jazz Rock and Last Of The Dogstronauts. The New York group is adept at channeling classic-era emo into something that both celebrates and subverts its forbears and, while they aren't necessarily breaking any new ground, it's great to hear this sort of music done so well and with such tight precision when too many bands nowadays are sloppy with the same tools at their disposal. "Autonomy," the lead single from their upcoming debut full-length We Are At Home In The Body, demonstrates For Everest's skill at wielding the genre's cathartic bursts and swells.
