The half-tonal vocals that were such a hallmark of '90s indie-rock outfits get a redux in the post post-rock era on this new mix EP from Neurot Recordings. The three groups prove amiable mixmates, their sounds threaded together with glassy guitars and restless rhythms.
Triad is the sum total of a series of three limited edition 7" releases (also obviously released as a CD-EP) proclaiming the good news that is to come from Neurot Recordings this fall. Along with two tracks each from Red Sparowes (members of ISIS, Neurosis, Halifax Pier, Angel Hair and Pleasure Forever) and Made Out of Babies, comes the debut of Battle of Mice, featuring members of both of those bands. The powerful instrumental tracks from Red Sparowes were recorded at KFJC's 'Live in the Pit' series and their sophomore effort will be titled Every Red Heart Shines Toward The Red Sun. Battle of Mice features the dynamic vocals of Julie Xmas and explosive guitar work that melds well with her whisper/scream delivery. Their debut, A Day of Nights, will unleash this Halloween.
