BIRDS AND WIRES Self-titled 12” EP

You ever call it in the air? You ever just look at a record—you’ve never heard the band before, nothing—and just get the feeling it’s gonna hit you right between the eyes, like, perfectly? That’s the feeling I got with this four-song twelve inch. One look and I was pretty sure; one spin and I was positive. That’s all it took. The songs are long and take some time to gather themselves and fully depart the station—but when they do, you’re in for the long haul. Complex, dense-but-pretty music that’s filled to the brim with a sense of place and atmosphere. There’s a working template of mid-tempo ‘90s screamo with a heavy nod to the drama and willful theatrics of Moss Icon, coupled with a more modern sense of a slowly gathering calamity that bands like Aussitot Mort and Amanda Woodward manage to nail every time. Like the fucking bottom’s about to drop out and you can’t wait for that to happen, you know? It’s a rare bit of music that really takes me out of myself these days, fully out of my own head, but these four beautiful and ferocious songs by Birds And Wires have done it repeatedly since that first listen.

BIRDS AND WIRES -12″ EP

This record starts with the most amazing guitar tone-super clean and inviting. The riff it plays carries the song right along with the busy drums trotting into a manic frenzy – the music building and building to an intense crescendo that lasts just long enough to appreciate it. A great opener to introduce an incredible EP by four scene vets from DC. The sound of this record is one of the most amazing aspects, and the heavy vinyl and superb production really paid off as each instrument is immaculately represented. For good reason. too–these songs are well written and powerful as shit. Some have the genteel approach of, say, INDIAN SUMMER or SHARKS KEEP MOVING, while others have a more assertive sound like AMBER INN or FUGAZI. From what I understand, there are members of 1905 and LOTUS FUCKER in the band. Really solid indie/emo- beautiful packaging, thick vinyl, strong release. (RM) (Amor y Lucha)
