BRAININAVAT is a new band from Ohio featuring at least one ex-member of Lowmeninyellowcoats (who readers of this blog are likely familiar with and missing hard), but shifts much more toward angular noise rock than technical screamo. Other notable bands the members have been in are CityCop, Griphook, Vita Bassa, Backtalk, Glass Bones and Quitr, and today I'm premiering their first single "devouring" from their self-titled EP releasing Friday Feb. 7th on Tomb Tree via 50 cassettes.
The band had the following to say about the track:
This was the first track written with Cody, our drummer, and you can hear that energy. At this point we weren’t sure if this was going to be more mathy/noodly, more thoughtful, or visceral, but it ended up being all of that. This track set the tone on the way we write songs, physically and emotionally.
Lyrically this song is about dealing with the weight of a loved one’s death, the feeling of walking into a room and feeling like a freak because all you can think about is a ghost. The song ends with me trying to find meaning in this because we must go on. This is what every song on this record is about—trying to make friends with our ghosts and forgiving oneself for letting them down.

Clocking in at 2:02, the EP's third track "devouring" wastes no time letting you know that slow and relaxed are not how this band generally operates. After nearly a minute of lightning, the band slows it down a tad and injects some nice start'n'stops before reverting back to breakneck speed. The grooves are very noticeable amidst the chaos and the bass is primarily to thank for that, although each instrument is great at holding their own. The yelled/screamed vocals rule and I certainly appreciate the inclusion of dual vocals for which I am always a sucker. Even if they suck. Which is not the case here. At all. Badass.
