Details:
Recorded in three days at historic Bobby Peru Studios, Polis is our freshmen album. But not like a hot freshman catholic school girl that you just want to show the world(read: your Penis).
More like our introduction….
And I don’t mean to be pretensions like “it’s our Meet the Beatles” but in a way it is. It’s our first full length and therefore kind of like the Beatles “Meet the Beatles” But we’re not like them as a band.
I suppose we could have compared ourselves to any band that’d put out a full length so why would I compare us to the Beatles.
I guess I’m trying to co-op some of their fame by tangentially drawing a correlation between us.
Lyrically our songs are about murders, whores, drunks, liars and ghosts. But the real fun is delving into the syntax. The lyrics are partially pieced together with reference to our lifetime of media consumption. While most are content with pop culture references we like to be real ass holes and quote obscure sub culture. How well versed are you with the works of Jean Luc Goddard and Harold Bloom?….Yeah we’re those guys.
Most of our practices fall into philosophical debate and many beers and that reflects in our song writing. The push pull loud quite loud dynamic stems from our need to keep the music interesting to US. We pull a lot from 90’s hardcore and post punk(though Me(Jack(The one writing this))) listened to mostly En Vogue in the 90’s.
AND IN CUNCLUSION (this is how they taught me to wrap up a paper in high school)
What we’re left with is a slab of feedback laden noise rock that is as forward thinking as it owes to the mountain of records that came before it.
(Listen, Matt wrote that last part and he was really proud of it so I’m just going to leave it…it’s nice, it’s accurate.)
(Hey, Matt here, and yeah, that kinda sounds like an asshole thing to say. But I was prodded by Jack to add something at the end that actually talked about the record… so that’s what you get. It was better than “sounds like your Les Savy Fav Pandora station”…)
