Lockstep is one month out from I Know What I Saw, its first full-length for Profound Lore, and the new video for “Dog In The House Of Plenty” arrives as a study in measured pressure. The Nashville band, which debuted in the spring with “Ash In The Water,” operates inside a dense shoegaze vocabulary—distortion, slow builds, vocals buried beneath layers of fuzz. But the track doesn’t simply replicate reliable textures. It moves with a deliberate weight, each down-tuned chord and cymbal swell pulling the song forward without rushing it.
Heavy shoegaze is now a crowded lane, and the glut of bands mistaking volume for impact has made skepticism a default. Lockstep sidesteps that trap by treating restraint as a structural tool rather than an afterthought. The song creeps rather than bludgeons, and its quiet-loud arc feels earned. There’s a clarity to the arrangement, even as it thickens, that suggests a band thinking about shape, not just mass.
I Know What I Saw is out July 24 on Profound Lore. The video for “Dog In The House Of Plenty” is streaming now.
