Release Notes:
Guillermo Scott Herren (aka Prefuse 73) is one of the most renowned
producers of avant-rock and hip hop around today. Over the past 12
months he's remixed the likes of TV On The Radio, Pelican, BLK JKS and
Cornelius as well as having collaborated in the past with Battles and
School of Seven Bells.
Zach Hill is an incredible, self-taught drummer, hailing from
California. He's played in bands with Chino Moreno (Deftones), Rob Crow
(Pinback), Marnie Stern and will soon be drumming with The Mars Volta,
as well as playing in his main group Hella.
Together they've formed Diamond Watch Wrists, and released the album
'Ice Capped at Both Ends'. The album shows an entirely new form of
Herren creations, organic songs featuring Guillermo's plaintive vocals,
guitar and studio wizardry, Hill's singular drumming as well as
previously unheard nods to 60's European acid-folk, classic American
singersongwriters and krautrock.
Ty Braxton (Battles) also guests on 'Simple Love Notes (5 Years
Later)'.
While would call the Diamond Watch Wrists material, 'simple songs about
Herren everyday things' they, of course, strike the listener as much
more.
Deceptively complex in their arrangements, the songs never fail to
strike a fascinating balancing act between brooding and uplifting,
making for an uncommonly well-rounded album.
