Republica - Republica - Limited 180-Gram 'Flame' Colored Vinyl - VINYL LP

Folk music has a bad habit of being presented as a deathlyserious concern. It's something you cry to, it's overly sacred, it'ssolemnly considered by critic-historians. But Folk B*tch Trio, formerhigh school friends Heide Peverelle (they/them), Jeanie Pilkington(she/her) and Gracie Sinclair (she/her), have a shared sense of humourthat is embedded deep in their music, and that sets it alight, safefrom the self-serious traps of the genre.Now Would Be A Good Time, their debut album, tells vivid,visceral stories, and is funny and darkly ironic in the manner of writerslike Mary Gaitskill or Otessa Moshfegh. Their music sounds familiar,but the songs are modern, youthful, singing acutely throughdissociative daydreams and galling breakups, sexual fantasies andmedia overload, all the petty resentments and minor humiliations ofbeing in your early twenties in the 2020s.InchCathode RayInch opens with caution, it's first harmoniesarriving in big, looping sighs. It's vulnerable but a little menacing, witha wide open chorus and a spacious, airy beat anchoring everything.InchMoth SongInch, a song about unrequited love and Inchbeing so spun out byeverything that you feel like you're delusional and hallucinating crazythings,Inch forms the album's spare centrepiece, Anita Clark's undulatingviolin part drifting in and out of focus as if from a dream.Other songs aren't as oblique, instead chronicling brutallyfamiliar moments at the end of relationships The tense, emotionallyvolatile torch song InchThe ActorInch, says Peverelle, is about Inchgoing to yourpartner's one-woman show and then getting broken up withInch. InchHotelTVInch, a hypnotic, late-night reverie, is about Inchhaving a S*x dream aboutsomebody else while next to your partner, and your partner being aliar,Inch explains Pilkington.The strongest link between the trio, aside from friendship, ismusic.

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression.
