Release Notes:
Since the wait for new songs by Cut City has been so long, I hardly
dared to expect something like this. Sure, I've seen the band live more
than a bunch of times since the last record, and I knew that they've
grown a lot more fierce and confident, but I haven't really caught this
more subtle, ambient side of the band.
When I listen to Narcissus Can Wait I'm quite impressed that they've
developed the familiar territories of the bands past, and at the same
time managed to take more than a few steps into the more spacious and
sparse. Yes, there's still some fine and harsh post punk from the mid
to late 2000's version present in a way, Liars have certainly made a
dent this time around, as well as some old school hardcore
appreciation. Some hints have been taken from more stretched out post
rocking acts with a knack for dynamic song structure as well Iπd say,
but there's so much more.
The songs are weaved together neatly, it's fluent like the songs can't
be played in any other order, and this epic EP gives us both stretches
of laid back melancholy and exploding cascades of sweet ear wrecking
roughness. Sure, there are references to be made if one decides to, but
Narcissus Can Wait consists of sounds and songs that are made from
people with a love for music, not specific bands.
This was digital/vinyl only release, but this a promo CD of it.
