Rhododendron's debut album for the Flenser is an angular work inspired by the legacy of '80s and '90s underground rock.
Kathryn Mohr's sophomore LP Carve came out last Friday.
Recorded alone in a trailer in the Mojave Desert, the album is sparse and sweltering as the landscape that incubated it. Warped field recordings hover above a bed of thick, distorted guitars. Her voice, layered in wavering harmony, brings to mind the brusque delivery of early Cat Power and PJ Harvey. Meanwhile, her lyrics leap out with knives and barking dogs, threats invoked in repeating patterns - for instance:
Again again, the very second I leave
A knife coming up from the ground
Clinging rung to rung up this ladder chasing
A pinpoint of light from above
Please welcome to the Flenser family: Truck Violence. The Montreal-via-Alberta band melds post-hardcore, sludge, noise rock and anti-fascist rage with folk, bluegrass, and small-town country pride. Their new record, The weathervane is my body,comes out June 26.
The first single, "New Jesus," is out now, with a video by Kirill Sommer linked below. The new track, recorded and produced by the band, is a searing rebuke of the US right's dominion over information and culture, as well as the apathetic mainstream response from below.
You can preorder The weathervane is my body on Iridescent White with HB Blue Blend, Coke Bottle Clear, or Black Vinyl; Sky Blue cassette tape; or CD
