Slug - Running To Get Past Your Heart

It was a vacant dream
An Empty life
Will you mourn for me?
Or praise the spite?
I got paranoia
Paranoia
Paranoia, Paranoia
Folly of the Jester
Rabbit's Moon
No one knows that, that
I'ma die soon
No one knows about
Rituals full of doom
No one cares man
I'm passed out in my room

So roll the dice, Nickel and dime
But no one will know about our time
No one comes around
And everybody cries
Its only me
The Jester, Laughing out my mind
There's a graveyard
There's a graveyard
Over there
There's a graveyard
Over there

Its a comedy of errors
Endless projection
Evil man yells
When I see reflection (No!)
Hearing faint voices all afternoon (Yeah!)
Telling me one thing
You'll die soon (Ok!)

Folly of the Jester
Rabbit's Moon
No one knows that, that
I'ma die soon
No one knows about
Rituals full of doom
No one cares man
I'm passed out in my room
I got paranoia
Paranoia
There's a graveyard
Over there
I got paranoia
Paranoia
There's a graveyard
Over there

In the two years since their last release, Freak Heat Waves have continued a perpetual process of transformation. Shedding familiar influences from the heavily excavated histories of post-punk and krautrock, the band has now beamed into uncharted territory with the otherworldly sound of their third album, Beyond XXXL.

Beyond XXXL is 11-song excursion, alien strains of synth-pop and glam-rock are sandblasted with smooth guitar solos, eerie electronics, and pulsating drum machines propelled into skull-shattering breakbeats. Deeply distorted vocals narrate the narcoleptic trip like a DJ Screw mixtape splicing together John Foxx, John Maus, and The Prodigy. The result is Freak Heat Waves’ most cohesive and captivating release to date, amplifying earlier melodic sensibilities while remaining singularly strange.

Freak Heat Waves - Soothing Limbo

A side from a new Protomartyr/Spray Paint 7" on Monofonus Press. Conceived on a tour together a year or four ago. Finally got around to doing it. The concept was each band would record an instrumental and send it to the other band. The other band would then sing on the track, and here it is.

Chain Wallet is the sound of dreamy mythologies presented in widescreen, while simultaneously nodding back to an era where everything was in four-by-three. Picking up where the hazy, melancholic and undeniably catchy debut left off, the band now returns with a lusher – and at the same time, more eerie – sound.

“Ride”, the first single from the upcoming album, and is a jangly pop tune with a big hook, that sets the stage nicely for “No Ritual”. 

While Chain Wallet’s first album was dreamed up in their rainy hometown of Bergen, the sophomore effort No Ritual found them emerging to a small cabin on a remote beach in the southwest of Norway. Here, among surfers – and while walking the beaches – they found out what kind of album they were going to make. 

While you still can catch a glimpse of Mary Chain here or Johnny Marr there, Chain Wallet are really establishing their own musical identity with No Ritual. Playing an important part in expanding the band’s sound on this record is Chiara Cavallari of the psychedelic shoegaze band FOAMMM. The guys say: “We had been wanting to collaborate with Chiara for a long time, and her ethereal presence is fortunately scattered all over the album.”

Both of Chain Wallet’s albums have followed loose and murky storylines about a conflicted protagonist. Where the first album revolved around themes like unresolved ambition and attempts of letting go of the past, No Ritual finds our anti-hero in state of spiritual limbo, while reaching out and trying to establish new symbolic meanings. The album is a post-apocalyptic dive into the mythical life of the millennial mind.

GRAVE095 ::: Hospital Ships 'Destruction in Yr Soul'

BIO :::

Hospital Ships began as a bedroom recording project for Lawrence, Kansas’s Jordan Geiger. Over the course of four years, two albums and stints with multiple respected bands, like Minus Story (singing, songwriting,) and Shearwater (trumpet, keys,) Geiger molded Hospital Ships into a densely packed sonic experience, bringing to life the cloistered sounds of a mind bursting with ideas at work alone in the bedroom.

With Destruction in Yr Soul, he’s thrown open that bedroom door, inviting in a full band. The result is a collection of songs that, while sonically more open, still wrestle with themes both private and universal. From a desire to see the world end to the contemplation of loss, Destruction in Yr Soul plays in tones ranging from garage rock aggression to light, almost whimsical folk.

A tension between those styles is at the foundation of Destruction in Yr Soul, which can be summed up in the question, “What if Bill Fay were a little known musician in the Midwest in 2013?” Centerpiece “Lost Folk Song” illustrates the concept well, beginning with Geiger’s soft tenor over a gently picked acoustic guitar and adding layers over the course of eight minutes before climaxing with the loud refrain, “She is gone, gone, gone/And how will we go on?” Elsewhere, a dispossessed rock prevails, as on the driving, fuzzy and slightly psychedelic “Joan of Arc.” But it is late-comer “Servants” that perhaps captures the ethos of the album best in its funky bass line, swinging melody and explosive chorus.

Peppered with the dark visions of Townes Van Zandt, the biting lyricism of Damien Jurado, the apocalyptic dread of Efrim Manuck, and the guitar antics of Ty Segall, Destruction in Yr Soul’s disparate influences manage to sound complementary. Freed by Hospital Ships’ newly appointed members to narrow his focus, Geiger has crafted his third album into something dark, yet soaring. If the apocalyptic wishes expressed in this album ever do come true, Hospital Ships will go out fighting.  File under:  Rural noise rock.  Fuzzy gospel for Situationists.
