History

Guitarist Cory Fischer invited vocalist Luke Pate to join his Gainesville, Florida metal band a week before they were set to record their debut EP after their previous vocalist quit. [2] This metal band would eventually evolve into the screamo/post-hardcore band Frameworks in 2011. Recalling joining the metal band and starting his career as a screaming vocalist, Pate said: "I didn't have the slightest clue about what to do or how to do it, but I said yes for some reason [...] I just kind of fell into it, and that's how it started." [2] Early EPs from Frameworks include the self-released Every Day Is the Same (2011) and Small Victories (2013) released through 13th Floor Records. [3]

These early releases caught the attention of the indie label Topshelf Records, who announced they signed Frameworks in November 2013. [4] On signing to and working with Topshelf, Pate said: "I'd say it's been the best case scenario. I've always really respected those guys and the bands they work with. We've meshed really well." [5] Through the label, the band released its debut studio album Loom on April 29, 2014, which was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics. [6] [7] Loom was produced by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Loma Prieta) who was chosen to help create a "raw, but bright-sounding album and [Frameworks felt] that Shirley refined that vision." [1] To support the album, Frameworks released a music video for the title track "Loom", [8] embarked on an April-May 2014 tour with Gates [9] and an August 2014 tour with United Nations. [10] They closed out 2014 with a split EP between the Saddest Landscape featuring a Frameworks cover of the White Stripes' "Fell in Love with a Girl". All proceeds for the EP went to charity and both bands toured Europe together in support of its release in October 2014. [11]

In February 2016, Frameworks released an EP titled Time Spent through Topshelf Records. [12] [13] The same month, the band announced they had signed to Jacob Bannon of Converge's indie label Deathwish Inc. and planned on releasing their second studio album later that year. [14] Their second studio album, titled Smother, was released on July 8, 2016, though Deathwish. [15]

Screamo is an aggressive subgenre of emo that emerged in the early 1990s and emphasizes "willfully experimental dissonance and dynamics". San Diego-based bands Heroin and Antioch Arrow pioneered the genre in the early 1990s, and it was developed in the late 1990s mainly by bands from the East Coast of the United States such as Pg. 99, Orchid, Funeral Diner, Saetia, and I Hate Myself. Screamo is strongly influenced by hardcore punk and characterized by the use of screamed vocals. Lyrical themes usually include emotional pain, death, romance, and human rights.
