This wonderfully uplifting band from Kent, OH plays easy-going instrumental music that glides effortlessly towards melodic illumination. Their casual dynamics will definitely appeal to fans of The Album Leaf, Tristeza and Saxon Shore.

Six Parts Seven (on Seattle's Suicide Squeeze) are the perfect band to play in the background when your brain is stressed: when that Excel spreadsheet won't format correctly, when your emails keep getting bounced back for no reason, or if you just can't figure out the logic behind Hegel's speculative reason, this band will help you chill the hell out.

Six Parts Seven play The Echo on Wednesday, April 4th.
