Following their 2012 EP, Los Angeles’ Asian She have returned with their debut full length, Milk The Fire.
Consisting of Noah Lebenzon (12 rounds) & Thomas Froggatt (She Wants Revenge) with help from David Brotherton on drums, this duo have crafted a refreshing album which manages the feat of sounding entirely fresh and cozily familiar at the same time.
Tracked at Lebenzon’s home in Studio City with drums recorded at indie-rock stalwart Manny Nieto’s in Lincoln Heights, the album blends feel good rhythms, hard hitting drums and the most tasteful guitars with flourishes of keyboards, live horns (Froggatt), and loads of delicious ear candy, all underpinning Lebenzon’s gravely melodic storytelling which belies a tremendous pop sensibility.
With moments which bring to mind 90’s indie-rock such as GVSB, the drawling eastside swagger of Circle Jerks era Keith Morris, and the alt-twang of Cracker at their best, Lebenzon and Froggatt have assembled 10 songs which document the ups and downs of relationships: the tough talks, the uncomfortable moments, the highs and lows, all with an attention to detail both in the acerbic lyrical wit and the deceptively complex chord changes.
Standouts “10 Years”, “Wish It Happened To You”, and “Buried In Glendale” all showcase a sophisticated hand at the wheel both in terms of songwriting as well as production, taking the listener on a journey that never disappoints, often surprises and inevitably leaves you wanting more.

Ipecac Recordings is the brainchild of Greg Werckman (former label manager for the legendary punk label, Alternative Tentacles, employee for Mercury Records for a record 15 minutes, currently operating Pick-A-Winner Management) and Mike Patton (former frontman for Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, currently of Fantômas, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom).

Werckman and Patton had been scheming for years (in between video games) about starting their very own label, waiting for just the right moment to unleash their master plan. Ipecac Recordings is not about to make music biz history and execute a revolution (although one is surely needed) or bore you by waxing poetic about their original musical philosophies. But if we have to adhere to a "mission statement," how about the notion of being an honest, artist friendly label run on a shoe string with no outrageous promotional or production costs. This label is a home to Mike Patton's eclectic musical collaborations as well as a place where bands we admire have the freedom to release music they might not be able to, or want to, release on other labels.
