Picturesque

Picturesque, an American rock quartet, wove pop melodies through their intense post-hardcore approach in a style recalling I See Stars, Hands Like Houses, and Sleeping with Sirens. The Lexington, Kentucky outfit centers on vocalist Kyle Hollis, guitarists Dylan Forrester and Zach Williamson, and bassist Jordan Greenway. Emerging in 2014, the group originally included founding drummer Cole Clark and bassist Robert Mote, both of whom departed Picturesque in 2016. Its opening release, the self-titled EP from that year, contained three tracks—including the debut single “Speak Softly”—later rendered acoustically on the Broken Home Sessions EP and fully realized on the 2015 Monstrous Things EP. During summer 2017, Picturesque delivered its first LP, Back to Beautiful, spotlighting the singles “Fake Fiction,” “New Face,” and “Honestly.”
