Husbands - A Diary Index (2022)

The band has shifted their approach throughout their oeuvre, which dates back to their first release in January 2016. Husbands’ latest offering is divorced from the band’s early shoegaze impulses, as they’ve exceedingly separated themselves from their signature wall-of-sound with every new release. Instead of shoegaze, Husbands have swapped in cleaner tones and sincere vocals akin to Midwest emo bands such as Mineral. But emo is punk adjacent, and the tempos in ADI are far removed from that genre, so slowcore is still the dominant flavor, making the sound all their own.
