I’m leaning in a little closer
To get a better listen to that
Gun squad machinery
If I could just stick my head in
I might actually hear something
Slower decay, feet dragged through the asphalt
And stained on the way out
Slower decay, back bent from the pavement
And no face you’d leave with
Shell out your faith, it’s warm in the water
But you’re only knee deep
Shell out your faith, well kept in the water
But it all bleeds away

Kansas City trio Flooding draw out the more mystical qualities of slowcore and noise rock for a heavy sound that's less stony than doom. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 26, 2023
Fans of Polvo, take note! The excellent Kansas City band Abandoncy has the same fondness for corkscrewing riffs & melodies. It’s great! Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 28, 2022
This one also took me a while to get into. It strikes me as less HC than Untitled and less poppy than Ultrapop (stupid I know). Let's call this the No Wave record. Its musical (and amusical) density is matching the persistent sound in my head right now. barnaby nygren
