New Jersey emo and alternative outfit Capillary has released their latest single, “Plainview,” a reflective anthem featuring guest vocals from Joey Chiaramonte of the Long Island band Koyo. The track serves as the final preview of the band’s debut album, ‘in remembrance’, which is set to arrive on January 2, 2026, via 51st State Records. Weaving together nostalgic lyrics and dynamic melodies, “Plainview” explores the bittersweet nature of outgrowing people and places while maintaining a sense of gratitude for the journey. Frontman Jake Rubin describes the song as a walk down memory lane that ultimately lands in a place of excitement for the future, with Chiaramonte’s contribution mirroring Rubin’s Jersey-based ruminations with his own Long Island perspective.
Formed in 2023, Capillary has quickly established a sound that honors genre purists while pushing forward, drawing significant influence from foundational acts like Sunny Day Real Estate, Mineral, and Title Fight. The upcoming full-length was recorded, mixed, and mastered at the renowned Studio 4 in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, with producer Justin Bartlett, known for his work with All Under Heaven and Carly Cosgrove. Building on the momentum of early singles “Lost Sleep” and “Time Before The Order,” the ten-track collection promises a blend of compelling riffs and poignant vocal performances. As the band prepares for the January release, ‘in remembrance’ stands as a powerful testament to the enduring emotional resonance of the Northeast emo scene.
