Live Music: Andmoreagain Presents My Sister Maura and Kid Fears w/ Not Flailing

my sister maura is an indie shoegaze outfit from Raleigh, NC, where they formed in 2022. In 2023, they released their debut full length LP "so long" independently, with physical CDs distributed through Deep Space Recordings. "so long" is a collection of gauzy, fuzzy, distorted, sparkling, airy, and heavy noises.

In moments of sparse clarity, and in those shrouded behind layered blankets of distortion, these songs each approach the elusive human truths that lie just outside the scope of understanding. Rose Ewing writes with moving honesty and gentleness, weaving together everything from ineffable grief to quiet encounters with the sublime, as Emma Shaw, Michael Whelan, and Ben Ewing join to create the lush sonic environment in which the songs unfold. Kid Fears evolved out of Rose Ewing’s solo songwriting project, and began playing shows as a full band in Atlanta in 2021. Their musical style draws influence from slowcore and shoegaze giants Low and My Bloody Valentine as well as contemporary songwriters like Grouper, Midwife and Gia Margaret.

Not Flailing is a group of four sweet and dirty muffins who play socially conscious rifts centered around disruption.
