This Will Destroy You, often abbreviated to TWDY, is an American experimental rock band from San Marcos, Texas, formed in 2004. They typically compose lengthy atmospheric instrumental pieces, featuring layers of effects-laden guitar and a heavy usage of dynamics.
Their latest album, Another Language, was released in September, 2014, and entered the Billboard Heatseekers Album Chart at number 7.
This Will Destroy You was formed by guitarists Jeremy Galindo and Chris King, bassist Raymond Brown and drummer Andrew Miller in San Marcos, Texas, in 2005. They had met through mutual friends, and played together in various different bands throughout high school before the lineup was finalized by around 2002.
Early iterations of the band featured Galindo on vocals and sounded like Radiohead, but after recording some tracks they decided the results were "awful" and didn't fit in with the rest of their music. After composing their next song "The World Is Our___", the band decided to write instrumental music instead. Chris King said in an interview with BBC Radio Foyle, "we were ... writing different kinds of songs and we wrote one [instrumental] song, and we were like, that works, let's go for it!"
The band's compositions typically feature a wide dynamic range, with slow build-ups to a "wall of noise" crescendo.The guitars are usually the most prominent feature of the band's sound, combining ambient soundscapes with simple melodies, and using a number of effects, such as reverb, sustain and distortion.
Many reviews categorized the band's early releases as post-rock, and compared them to other bands of the genre, most notably fellow Texas instrumental group Explosions in the Sky, although the band members largely reject this description. In an interview with the Dallas Observer, Jeremy Galindo said, "It can be aggravating. I think after this new album comes out, a lot of that is gonna stop. Because this next album is definitely gonna be sounding more like the stuff that we do listen to." The band describe their new sound as being darker and heavier, referring to it as "doomgaze", a portmanteau of doom metal and shoegaze.
The band's name originated from a song that was to be called "This Will Destroy You", but this was rejected for being too pretentious. The band found it "hilarious." When asked whether he wished the band had chosen a different name, King said to Rock Sound, "It's supposed to be a little bit obnoxious. There's something about people automatically hating you before you play that's kind of endearing. It gets to the point where it's over-the-top obnoxious. It's an attention-grabber and people will check it out I guess. Even if they hate it."
