Steel mammoth sunbeams
infinite, right up the spine
Stampede beating, ripping my chest open
Yes, I do have a pulse
I’m staring straight into an astral apocalypse
No, I don’t feel like this is living
Starts to feel like sleep in hell fire bedsheets
Every night
And they glisten like a prayer book
Right at the end of this tunnel
You can take a battering ram
To all the walls in the house
But sooner or later,
realize you’ll always be trapped
inside something bigger
Even in these hell fire bedsheets
Every night
And they’re hissing like a prayer book
Right at the other end of this tunnel
Classic emo sing-a-longs trade blows with tormented post-hardcore passages on the Brooklyn outfit's powerful sophomore LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 3, 2024
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
