“‘On and On and Gone’ will be their first studio album in close to six years, so expect some more previews and singles. But for now, soak it up, suck it in, sup it sleazy. That first taste licked a high grade first date…”
New Music.
“So now we got the gist and the feel of the grit and the grind and the squalor’s demeanour, go devour it and soak up the heat. It’s worth pushing the red on the temp…”
“When we last heard Last Wars it was hard-boiled and rasp-filled and retro electric, like a B-side of ‘Saturn Strip’ Vega. But now we get polish, and pumped up production, in an EP that flexes and kicks…”
“Bass lines warble and wump with a ground level dirt, synth tones spin minimalist samples. Sounds of drum and bass and dubstep have been pinched and re-twisted into two minute measures…”
“There’s so much in the sonics and bones of ‘Believe’ that it’s hard to know just where start. It’s frustratingly clever, emphatically catchy, and just so damn easily accessible…”
“It’s a deep seam of fuzzed out and bleached desert sounds with a grimness that lurks in the dirt. We can almost hear vultures clamping down on old bones, shoegaze never sounded so… rural…”
Always eclectic, always a riptide, always a fist full of sonics…. This is July ’21.
“This is energy honed, owned and punked. This is New York junk trashed for the masses. It belongs in a sweatbox on hot summer eve in a downtown back avenue slam…”
“All the mood and the warning and fear, it’s still here, along with some new threads and tricks. The clarity suits, and because of it, every song feels more human than horror…”
“It’s a hypnotic thing to take in, watching the patience involved in the making. The precision based tweaks and the nurture of noise… Well I’ll let you enjoy for yourself.”
