Drecksound (Black Vinyl)

Debütalbum der Post-/Avant-Punkrock Band aus Memphis TN bestehend aus Mitgliedern von NOTS und EX-CULT. Limitiert auf 300 Exemplare in schwarzem Vinyl. RIYL: THE FALL, COUNTRY TEASERS, WARMDUSCHER

A glance at the résumés of Hash Redactor’s members might seed certain expectations. But with their debut full-length, Drecksound, the band?fronted by guitarist Alec McIntyre of Ex-Cult, featuring NOTS rhythm warriors Meredith Lones on bass and Charlotte Watson on drums, and rounded off by George Williford (stringed instrumentalist of various Memphis acts) on second guitar?banishes any residual side-project status.
Though Drecksound at times evokes certain mini-masterpieces of recent history, like The Country Teasers’ Destroy All Human Life, or labelmates Spray Paint’s Feel the Clamps, it ventures into musical territory tethered neither to its own lineage, nor to that of the current era...a clattering, distorted oasis in the sleek digital desert of the late twenty-teens.
