apirk Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 at Permanent records https://shop.permanentrecordschicago.com/7in-coachwhips-intelligence-vs-karate-party-split/dp/76106 New 7in - Coachwhips/Intelligence Vs Karate Party - Split - ORIGINAL 2005 COPIES!!!DUDES. We were able to score some OG 2005 copies of this loooooong OOP split 7-inch from Oh Sees frontman John Dywer's former band, the almighty Coachwhips!!!!!!! And the split is with none other than The Intelligence and Karate Party! Yes, Lars from Intelligence playing with Chris of Karate Party. Fuck Yes. Released oh so long ago on Omnibus Records, their description of this blown out mess of a 7 inch is still fresh, so read on:"COACHWHIPS: Led by mercurial underground fashion plate JOHN DWYER's (Pink and Brown) scorching guitar and phone-mic'd Log-vox, MATT HARTMAN's (ex-Henry's Dress, Catpower) rumbling drums, and VIVACIOUS VAL's (Double Duchess) cheap-brand keyboard melodies, the band burns down the house with two exclusive tracks recorded by stun-gun toting engineer Chris Woodhouse. INTELLIGENCE: Seattle's angst-ridden art-pop warrior, LARS FINBERG (A-Frames, Dipers) returns with the help of Chris Woodhouse (Karate Party, FM Knives) to dish out three new, blazing tracks of solid post-punk clang. Thick rhythms and driving bass lines collide with sparse, angular guitar riffs and voiced pronouncements of science, future, and frustration. PRESSED ON THICK, 70 GRAM VINYL."You can't even find any Coachwhips records (used or new) anymore, so having two more tracks from John Dywer's pre-Oh Sees noise punk outfit is like Christmas in May. And the fact that the b side of this single is three tracks from an Intelligence vs Karate Party studio fight to the death couldn't make us happier. Three absolutely must own bands on one 7 inch. It's amaze-balls!!!!! Grab this one quick, cuz it's gonna vanish quicker than you can read this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellnow Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Speaking of Thee Oh Sees split 7 inches: http://www.edition-fieber.com/david_shrigley.html It's super cool but at that price I think it's for completists only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
