- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
CRUSHINGLY INTENSE POST-HARDCORE/ NOISE. DISSONANT BATTLING GUITARS, HOWLING
VOCALS, ANGULAR DRUMMING AND A LAYER OF FILTHY STOMPBOX SCUZZ The economic
recession that began in 2008 has now brought the national unemployment rate
close to ten-percent. Last year, the BP oil spill released approximately 185
million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. American troops still
pursue nebulous objectives in Afghanistan. These issues have provided the most
significant context for art and culture in this decade. White Suns is
comprised of Kevin Barry, Dana Matthiessen and Rick Visser, who reside in
Brooklyn, New York. They have been playing together for four years. They
recently supported a small-run cassette release last year ('Cavity', Pregnant
Records, 2010) with an East Coast tour. The band is now releasing their first
LP, 'Waking In The Reservoir' on UgExplode. The music is a pummeling synthesis
of electronics-based noise and guitar-driven modernist punk. It will appeal to
those already conscious and also those who wish to be ripped from their
slumber. This album was recorded in high fidelity by Ben Greenberg (Zs, Little
Women) and mastered by Weasel Walter. This album is intelligent, angry,
asymmetrical, furious, cacophonous, articulate and unique. THIS BAND PLAYS
LIVE SHOWS AND TOURS. THEY ARE YOUNG, AS IS THEIR AUDIENCE THEIR PEERS
INCLUDE: SIGHTINGS, MOUTHUS, NORMAL LOVE, BURMESE, ETC.
