EXILES FROM CLOWNTOWN - #3

For their inaugural release, New York Citys Ever/Never Records extends their hand of friendship across a vast ocean and multiple time-zones. Proving their global ambitions, ever/never pluck a few gems from the extensive catalog of weirdo Australian collective Exiles From Clowntown. A three piece, featuring one member of 90s noiseniks 3 toed sloth, Exiles from Clowntown deconstruct rock music by injecting a healthy amount of world-weariness into their home-recorded sputter n swagger. (No) Original Thort is a noisy rant that coalesces around a lumbering bass line and beehive-like guitar sounds; the perfect soundtrack for drinking and bullshitting with your mates. Unless theyre squares. Into The Light rides a twangy guitar sketching out a vaguely VU-like motif, while the rest of the band makes like The Fall on one of their mid-80s C&N hybrids. This 7 is the third installment of The Holy Trinity of the Shapes series. Slitblogs Roland Woodbe put his stamp of approval on the preceding volume, and when it comes to this kind of subterranean squall, the man knows of which he speaks. Limited to 150 copies with no plans to repress. Select editions can be found taped and stapled to random objects throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan. Guerilla marketing never sounded better." - Ever/Never.
