The lead-off track from the split's a-side is Zaleski's "Red Walls," a song about someone who wants to kill you but they cant nestled under a blanket of fuzz-blown guitars reminiscent of bands like Ovlov and Hum. It's heavy due it's forceful rhythm and atmosphere but also because of D.J. Wymer's agonized wails and loaded emotion. 

 

Ugly Zoo's propulsive "Jesus Sneakers" is a cut from the b-side that touches on an uncomfortable sexual experience. A tidal wave of rolling bass and drums leads the way before it all crashes down into an onslaught of loud, aggressive guitars and vocals.

 

The split features both bands' debut EPs: Zaleski's Void EP and Ugly Zoo's self-titled EP; two short but substantial unveilings from two emerging bands who have just begun tapping into their potential.
