SIGNAL - s/t 7"EP
$13.50
Highly recommended.
Like outsider greats from Bush Tetras to Dreamcrusher, SIGNAL confront the difficulty of NYC living unafraid and with blithe defiance. This debut takes listeners on a hell ride around NYCs five boroughs. It depicts a brutal, competitive landscape filled with rat guts, stampedes and emotional trauma. The rhythm section of Allie Brasch and Beck Kitsis winds and pummels through these songs' unpredictable structures with precision; the high-impact guitar playing of Carlos Salas packs billowing free-jazz noise squalls into a study of punks hardest hitting innovators; and Aida Riddle is a powerful singer unafraid to express vulnerability while channeling towering intensity with lyrics both blunt and poetic. This is joyous music for these end-times. Its already getting hot in New York as we approach summer, and you can almost smell the trash.
