Red Smoke Vinyl. Born where the dust bowl never died, the West-Texas raised trio that is Shallowater - Blake Skipper (guitar/vocals), Tristan Kelly (bass) and Ryan Faulkenberry (drums) - combine slowcore, post-hardcore, country, and Americana elements that defy genre labels. Quickly establishing themselves as ones to watch in the alt-country/slowcore scene, the power trio's self-described "raw West Texas dirtgaze" has positioned the band as an evocative and distinctive force amongst current alternative genre-blending projects.The band put out their sophomore record God's Gonna Give You a Million Dollars in September 2025, garnering support from Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, Alt Press, Beats per Minute, Fantano and more. Produced by Alex Farrar (MJ Lenderman, Wednesday, Indigo de Souza), the record walks the line of country and slowcore, swallowed up with heavy, distorted instrumentals and soft, dynamic reprises - and even a feature from fellow West Texas musician Hayden Pedigo.
