The Fog - Ditherer - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Transparent clear vinyl black splatter. Death Lens relentlessly seeks a place in your consciousness, a persistent presence whispering in your ear. Concealing ferocity beneath a stylish veneer, their live shows unleash energy and chaos, leaving spectators disarmed and forever transformed. After successful tours with Militarie Gun and Together Pangea and hometown support, Death Lens is poised to their latest album, InchCold World,Inch on May 3rd, through Epitaph Records.In recordings, Death Lens forges unyielding rock, blending West Coast surf punk with Britrock's tight, bouncy rhythms. Despite their deceptive chill and vibe-focused portrayal, live performances brim with hardcore intensity. Rooted in slick guitar sonics and sugary backing vocal harmonies, reminiscent of indie punk and shoegaze, Death Lens channels the energy of bands like Turnstile and Militarie Gun on stage, creating soundtracks for indelible memories of high-energy, sweat-soaked singalongs.Hailing from La Puente, the self-described Inchfive Brown boysInch transition from showcasing explosive energy in recordings to embodying a refined representation of hard work and early influences gaining traction in their scene. Growing up as minorities east of Los Angeles amidst police harassment and gang violence, Death Lens faced risk factors that could have led them astray. Evolving from a party garage punk band, they now serve as a addressing life in heavily policed and immigrant-dominant areas, advocating for immigration reforms, and utilizing resources to support their community. Their experiences form a powerful narrative within their music.

Ether Teeth, Fog's second LP, is in his own words, a heavy-headed hopeful opus, an urban vaudevillian symphony about birds, war and love. Recorded in sequence to 2 inch tape at Thrid Ear Studios in Minneapolis with Tom Herbers, ETHER TEETH finds Broder both expanding the range of his sound and becoming more focussed in his approach. And while often dark or melancholy, his lyrics never lose their sense of humour or thought-provoking imagery. He feels that, this time around, his vision of a collison of turntables, piano, poetry and god knows what else are fully realised.

ThisThis is the mini-album EP follow-up to Fog's previous album ETHER TEETH. Made with turntables, a mixer, effects, guitar, piano, a typewriter, saxophone, kitchen utensils, the heater, drums bells and other stuff.
