jhulud Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Prevailing over distances that span two countries and finding time between five separate band members’ lives to create new music, Narrows has managed to produce two new tracks that are refreshingly aggressive and raw while simultaneously meticulously tight, musically. This should come as no surprise considering Narrows is comprised of members from bands with notoriously brutal talent such as These Arms are Snakes, Unbroken, Botch, and Bullet Union. Both “Ride the Lion” and “Blood Python” emit reckless precision in Verellen’s vocal growls, controlled chaos in Moran, Frederiksen, and Cox’s bass and guitar playing, and crushing force from Stother’s heavy drumming. Welcomed with a full on assault of schizophrenic guitar riffs, spastic drumming, and riotous vocals, Retox’s opening track makes a seamless transition into their half of the split with the introduction of “This Should Hurt a Little Bit”. Like Narrows, Retox marries musical technicality with wild unrestraint and intensity, all in a little over a minute. Their second track on this 7” will be more familiar for many: a cover of The Cure’s “Fascination Street”. Joined by the comparatively soothing vocals of Jennifer Clavin alongside Pearson with predominant bass and wailing, distorted guitar, Retox effortlessly establishes their own idiosyncratic claim over an already classic track.

jhulud Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 No prob. The price is good. I am curious though to see if it's only in that green color or there are others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoshotthefrog Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 If there are multiple colors I will definitely buy them to add to my Narrows collection. Do you know if a song has been released yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
