PUSH – maybe our days are numbered
Release Date: June 6, 2025
Origin: Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
Genre: Dream pop, indie rock, shoegaze
From the quiet sprawl of Tulsa’s underground scene emerges PUSH, a band whose latest record, maybe our days are numbered, captures the soft ache and soaring beauty of uncertainty. With one foot in the ethereal world of dream pop and the other rooted in the textured weight of shoegaze, PUSH delivers a sound that feels immediate and distant all at once—like a memory trying not to fade.
Sound & Aesthetic
maybe our days are numbered is enveloped in haze and light. Guitars shimmer with delay and reverb, creating dense layers that seem to hang in the air like smoke. The rhythm section provides an understated pulse, grounding the band’s emotional drift with just enough weight to keep things from floating entirely away. Vocals are subdued yet stirring, often buried in the mix—more a presence than a proclamation.
The sonic world PUSH creates is introspective but not inert. There’s movement in every track—slow builds, sudden rushes, moments of collapse followed by glimmers of clarity. The production leans into the dreamy textures without sacrificing the bite of raw guitar tones and live-room energy. It's immersive music for introspective afternoons and late-night wanderings.
Mood & Themes
There’s a quiet existential tension running through the record’s core. As the title suggests, the album grapples with time—its fragility, its passing, its weight. Yet it never becomes morose; instead, maybe our days are numbered finds comfort in vulnerability, beauty in fleetingness. It’s a work that reflects on impermanence not with fear, but with a kind of suspended grace.
Whether soundtracking isolation or connection, this is music that invites listeners to dwell in ambiguity—to feel without needing resolution, to embrace what’s unresolved.
A New Voice in Shoegaze
With this release, PUSH joins a growing wave of American shoegaze acts who blend genre traditions with their own regional atmosphere and perspective. What sets PUSH apart is their restraint—the ability to create big emotional moments without ever resorting to grand gestures. Every swell, every whisper, every crash of sound feels carefully earned.
maybe our days are numbered is a quiet triumph, and a signal that Tulsa has something vital to say in the global shoegaze conversation.
