About this product

The second LP by California rock n roll unit Spice expands their palette of damaged anthems and addiction poetics with a more bristling, visceral sound, distilled from years in the trenches of bands, break-ups, and breakdowns. Singer Ross Farrar explains their chemistry succinctly InchWe all got in a room and this is what came out.Inch Viv is named for a precursor project of bassist Cody Sullivan and violinist Victoria Skudlarek, but also alludes to broader notions of vividness, sonic, visual, and otherwise. Engineered by Jack Shirley and mixed/mastered by Sam Pura in Oakland, the mix achieves that rare balance of every element being elevated but distinct, with voices, strings, and drums each given space to blaze parallel paths. Opener InchRecoveryInch captures Spice at their stormy, weathered best, booming drums and East Bay riffs skidding out in a rockslide of rapture, regret, and bruised melody (InchYou sacrifice perfect days to laugh through the night / you have to get out of bed / and it's hard / and it's hard / it's so hard to admitInch), peaking in Ian Simpson's poignant single-note vibrato guitar solo; Farrar agrees InchThe guitar says what we cannot.Inch Other tracks embrace the group's shredded pop potential (InchAny Day Now,Inch InchDining Out,Inch InchLive SceneInch) and their speedway ripper mode (InchThrenodyInch), with detours into oblique instrumentals (InchMelody DriveInch) and orchestral balladeering (InchAshes In The BirdbathInch). But what unites and ignites these songs across different energies and arrangements is their specific sense of emotion. Rawness refined into reckonings, approaching truth, born of cold mornings, bad luck, and too many wrong turns. Waking up where you're not supposed to be, living a life you don't recognize. The album ends with no end to it's narrative, still fighting, still slipping. Farrar calls InchClimbing Down The La
