Jesse Mowery (In Wolves' Clothing) is my brother, and enthusiastic/supportive Chris Livingstone (Letterbombs) has released a few things on Tomb Tree so when asked if I wanted to release this thing it was a no-fuck-brainer. With the split 12" set to release in full digitally and physically on Saturday August 20th, 2022 I figured I'd give ya'll a sneak peak at this glorious split /100. Finland's LETTERBOMBS bring their five fastest and finest tracks yet, with Richmond, Virginia's IN WOLVES' CLOTHING clocking in at a minute longer despite having two less tracks, but no less passion. Take a jam and check back in at Zegema Beach Records and Dingleberry Records at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on Aug. 20th!!!
(2022) IN WOLVES' CLOTHING "Split" (from 'Letterbombs split' 12")
These new songs are the last with Thom Carney who moved to a different city, so they are the last of that era and all rip. You've got two longer songs with a spicy but short third song sandwiched in between. Opener "Invisible Ink" creates a nice albeit eerie atmosphere that explodes with at least three vocalists screaming over one another, "Choiceless" has some gorgeous guitar riffs with desperate screams before it explodes and recedes by the 1:54 mark, and closer "Bleached" features some truly tortured screams delivered directly into a bowl of noodles that reaches a dangerous boil.
(2022) LETTERBOMBS "Split" (from 'In Wolves' Clothing split' 12")
This collection of songs are the band's crowning achievement up to this point, and contain a flow, consistency, and intensity that leave me even more satisfied that when I first heard their debut. Since that time they released a ton of material, but this...it's like 33rpm Raein played at 45rpm (wait...is that just emo-violence?) thanks to the off-kilter rhythms, dynamic shifts, and multiple screamers. "Folie à Deux" is a bit of an anomaly though, as it is longer in length, much more restrained, groovy, and includes their best singing so far. They're all great jams but I think the closer "Burnt Toast" is my favourite, as those lone guitar notes at the climax really submerge the listener.
