Bent Shapes - Wolves of Want - VINYL LP

About this product
Vinyl LP pressing. Scene reports. Regional styles. It all seems charmingly antiquated these days, given how social networking cross-pollination has transcended space and time. But with a hyper-literate, tightly wound, and irreverent brand of post-collegiate rock, Bent Shapes may just be the most quintessentially Boston band of the last few years. Since forming the group under the name Girlfriends in 2009, principal songwriters Ben Potrykus and Andy Sadoway have largely ignored indie trends leaking from the Inchindustry citiesInch in favor of churning out earnest, expertly-crafted pop and post-punk laced with some of the tightest punk poetry around. The band took their biggest risk in the studio, electing to record Wolves of Want purely analog with 16 tracks. InchEven with a relatively small number of tracks, we were able to bring in some additional instruments that we hadn't added to our palette before cello, trumpet, trombone to name a few,Inch says Sadoway. InchMy favorite part of tracking was when Luke and I got to play a Steinway grand together during the outro of 'New Starts in Old Dominion.'Inch Thematically, Wolves of Want is an album full of meditations on mental illness, the struggle to bring goodness into the world, and faith in humanity as a renewable resource. These themes are particularly personal to Potrykus who was diagnosed with multiple anxiety disorders after experiencing acute symptoms on-and-off for years.

Vinyl LP pressing. Breakout artist Bad Wolves aren't just a band, they're a sonic wrecking ball that's destroying everything in their path. The band - drummer John Boecklin (Devildriver), vocalist Tommy Vext (Divine Heresy, Snot) as well as guitarists Doc Coyle (God Forbid), Chris Cain (Bury Your Dead) and bassist Kyle Konkiel (In This Moment) may seem like they just exploded onto the scene but the idea has been percolating in Boecklin and Vext's heads since 2015. From their massive cover of The Cranberries InchZombieInch that has reached No. 1, driving anthems like InchNo MastersInch to the syncopated Faith No More-worthy rocker InchBetter The Devil,Inch their new album Disobey showcases elements of rock, metal, hip-hop and progressive rock into a unique amalgam of music that's as infectious as it is groundbreaking.
One year after catching a grizzly bear, lesson one (2005, Zealrecords), Tomàn is back with their second full length, perhaps we should have smoked the salmon first. You can expect minutes of instrumental trips à la Mogwai, timid Pop-Songs as patented by Pinback and Post-Rock like the Album Leaf; however, their music sounds warmer and more beautiful than their idols. They describe their new album as Inchrepetition, sparse electronics, choirs, melancholy, warm guitars, and flemish blokes having fun.Inch The guys have played the Belgian and Dutch indie clubs and some nice festivals (Dour, Motel Mozaique...) as well as supporting bands like Karate, Death Cab for Cutie, The Album Leaf, Logh, B Fleischmann, The New Year, 65daysofstatic, The Berg Sans Nipple and more.
![Occultation - Three and Seven - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/aef49318-c58e-47b0-a131-e104fd57ae94.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
2012 debut album from the Brooklyn-based Metal band. Formed in the late '00s, Occultation released the limited Somber Dawn EP in 2011, which showcased their bizarre brand of creepy and haunting Psych Horror Metal. But Occultation has morphed into a beast in it's own right. Along with weird and unearthly guitar play, the trio conjures ethereal and ghostly female vocals, dirge-like organ sounds, pulsating bass lines and ritualistic drum rhythms. The band takes it's cues from '70's Prog, '80's Dark Rock, classic Metal (most notably early Mercyful Fate and Death SS) and Cult horror soundtracks. Three & Seven is a haunting, creepy and unrelenting venture into a cathedral of sonic horror.
