Bambara - "Swarm" singles (via ArrowhawkRecords)

[unclaimed-baggage-music]

(ArrowhawkRecords) Artist: Bambara Track: “All The Ugly Things” Genre: Noise Punk / Noise Pop For Fans of: Iceage, Protomartyr, Pissed Jeans In “All The Ugly Things”, the stormy second single off of noise punk trio Bambara’s upcoming Swarm, deadpan drums and an agitated bass forge together and without hesitation, devise a cat-and-mouse pursuit of Bateh’s catatonic cries over guitar. Based off the first single and now upon an enthusiastic reflection of this little ball of fury, Bambara’s apparatus is certainly ripening into a harvest of pure post-punk hysteria that I can look forward to planting into future playlists.

Excited to announce #Pinecones vinyl on @arrowhawkrecords (though you've probably heard me gushing about this band and album for months now.) Dig into "Sleep Is Forget," the last track off the record, which we're sharing first: bit.ly/MeetPinecones 🌲🌰 #thepinecones #pineconesband #arrowhawkrecords #sleepisforget #cosmicamericanmusic

Recalling the brooding filth of early Swans and The Birthday Party, and the pummeling energy of Jesus Lizard or Iceage, BAMBARA uses their signature vocal-noise collages to create an unsettling, visceral experience. Although BAMBARA only formed in Athens, Ga in late 2008, the three boys have grown up together. Twin brothers Reid and Blaze Bateh (25) and childhood friend William Brookshire (25) have been consistently making music and playing shows together since they were in the 7th grade. Now the band is in Brooklyn, and they are ready to release DREAMVIOLENCE. DREAMVIOLENCE is BAMBARA’s long awaited full-length follow-up to their acclaimed debut EP Dog Ear Days (2010). After playing countless deafening shows in their hometown of Athens, touring the US in sweaty house shows and sharing bills with Grimes, Liturgy, Iceage, A Place to Bury Strangers, and Parts and Labor, BAMBARA decided to leave their beloved Athens and move to a basement apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn for a change. Here they practiced, slept and recorded for the majority of 2012. Following the release of a Kate Bush cover and a 10 minute improv noise EP RINGS early in the year, BAMBARA began to work on DREAMVIOLENCE. With a minimal recording set-up and little sunlight, the band was able to completely capture the dark, grimy, noisy sound they are known for while maintaining the lush beauty that glues it all together. Reid’s voice croons and snarls the fragmented images of the city. Blaze and William’s driving rhythm section plows and swings through the dirge of vocal noise with furious power. BAMBARA doesn’t want you to get comfortable in DREAMVIOLENCE. They prefer to send you through vortexes of haunting noise before you reach the dreamy euphoria waiting in the wreckage. DREAMVIOLENCE will be released digitally on the band’s own tape label Emerald Weapon Records that they use to put out their music, video projects and Reid’s solo noise project FEVERER, and on white vinyl via young Athens, GA imprint Arrowhawk Records. The album art features a still from the 1999 Leos Carax film POLA X. “I received a pre-release copy of the album a few weeks ago and was shocked by how the band, which could have easily traded on its deft knowledge of pop hooks and rock sensibility, chose instead to dive off the deep end into experimental murkiness and past-the-reef darkness. This is the soundtrack to the aftermath of an avalanche. Or a ship sunk long ago. The 13 tracks were recorded in the band’s New York basement, but carry all the desolation of a rural Wisconsin snowdrift. Yes. It’s that good.” – Flagpole
