Tears for the Dying Share Memories
PLUS, MORE MUSIC NEWS AND GOSSIP
By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com
KEEP IT BETWEEN THE DITCHES: The new album by Georgia Dish
Boys, Suitcase of Life, won’t come out until June, which
seems light years away at the moment, but the first single is
out, and you can pre-order the whole thing now. A couple of
weeks back, the band released the song “HWY1,” and it’s a
total winner, from its clever radio-tuning intro through its
Replacements/honky tonk-esque dark exploration. If you’re
up for pre-ordering, this is available digitally and vinyl-ly.
The physical LP is limited to 300 copies, though, so jump on
that. Check it all out at georgiadishboys.bandcamp.com.
MORE LIKE PURE GOLD: Although it could have just packed up
and laid low until next year, The Winterville Marigold
Festival has gone virtual for the people. Across three
Saturday nights, the first of which has passed, the festival
is bringing live performances to you through Facebook
Live. The May 2 show features Sir. Crazy Pants and Bo
Beddingfield, and the May 9 show features Caroline
Aiken and Dodd Ferrelle & Adam Poulin. The shows
begin at 6 p.m., so please
tune in at facebook.com/
MarigoldFestival.
BENEATH THE SHADOWS: The
new album from Athens
death rockers Tears for The
Dying is named Memories,
and it slipped out in late
March. Of course, they
began work on this awhile
back, and they named the
band many years ago, so if
this all seems a bit on the
nose, don’t blame them.
One major thing I’ve always
appreciated about the band
is that they’re a continual
reminder of how guitar-ori
ented first-wave goth and
death rock really was,
revisionist historians be
damned. Also, rather than
taking to heart England and
European influences, their approach has always been very
Los Angeles/USA-oriented. Thus, their character is more
hard-edged than one might expect at first blush. Highlights
here include “Palomine,” “Lost Girls,” “ACAB” and their
cover of Christian Death’s 1982 song “Spiritual Cramp.”
Check it out at tearsforthedying.bandcamp.com.
FLOW MOTION: Nick Bradfield (White Rabbit Collective) tipped
me to the fact that he finished mixing and mastering the
new album by one of the projects he’s been sitting in with
for a while. The group is named Flowkestra, and the album
is named Whirling Dervish. Bradfield plays erhu andjonghu
in the Jeremy Raj-led group. Raj, who plays oud and guitar,
is also joined by Louis Romanos (percussion), Mason Davis
(drums), William Kissane (guitar) and Web Hughes (bass).
This release contains a whopping 17 tracks culled from
three separate improvisational performances at Creature
Comforts. This is the kind of record that defies easy cate
gorization, outside of the prodigious “world music” label,
because it builds and builds due to its improvisational
nature. Fans of, say, Can or Captain Beefheart should dig
this as immediately as Smithsonian Folkways patrons.
Anyhow, I was particularly drawn to the longer tracks
like “Cacophonous Sarcophagus,” “Evocation,” and “Moon
Magic.” Set aside some time to stream this in full over at
rabbitholestudios.org/fiowkestra.
TWO FOR FLINCHING: Remember just a couple of months
ago when we could all rock out with nary a care? Well,
Kwazymoto remembers. To this end, they’ve released
Kwazymoto: Live at Caledonia, which chronicles the band’s
appearance at the club this past Feb. 25. It’s a tight, sev
en-song set in which the band punches its way through that
particular Tuesday night and grabs it by the throat. This
was produced with the assistance of live recording engineer
Sloan Simpson (Southern Shelter) and Music Business
Program student Erin Cribbs, who mixed it as her spring
semester project. This arrives practically right on the back
of the band’s new EP, Kill or Be Killed. This three-song
offering is a rapid fire assault that showcases Kwazymoto’s
increasingly complex methods of arrangement. This is espe
cially noticeable on the stunning “Death Gallop.” Enjoy each
track via kwazymoto.bandcamp.com. ©
Tears for The Dying
Kudzu Samurai: Kudzu Samurai (Independent Release) Kudzu Samurai, a
psychedelic six-piece based in Athens, released their self-titled album at the
end of March. The prog rock band first formed in 2017, and is influenced by
music from Palm, Mild High Club, and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard,
though the members explore a diverse array of genres within their own work.
Kudzu’s first full-length features four songs, starting with “Dream Machine,"
a hazy, lo-fi track that steadily slides on a nonlinear plane of fluid time sig
natures and layers of craggy reverb. This cosmic orientation overflows into
“Politico One," introducing elements of surf punk and smokey bass flavors
that darken the melody’s cyclical descent. Flute and other wind instruments
highlight notes of bossa nova in this song, as well as “Boss Battle," which
pairs cacophonous jazz with abstract imagery while maintaining its consistent interstellar twang. “Letter” brings
the record to a close, incorporating jangle pop into Kudzu’s trippy, tidal repertoire. [Lily Guthrie]
