The Organ

Formed in Vancouver, Canada in 2004, The Organ entered the international indie music scene with their one and only full length LP Grab That Gun. A transmission of heartache, anxiety, and desire – the album was scrapped, re-recorded, and finally delivered into the  hands of a devoted fan-base who had been subsisting on the 2002 EP Sinking Hearts. .

Defiantly queer and achingly melancholic, comparisons to downbeat darlings The Smiths and Joy Division were rife, but The Organ were entirely singular. The  female five-piece disrupted the homogenous cis-make indie rock scene of the early 2000s and earned the respect of their contemporaries with their crisp yet shaggy minor-key riffs, the foreboding rigidity of the Hammond organ, and the sparse, existential lyrics of Katie Sketch. They sounded at once eerily familiar and future perfect.
