City of Ships rip through two new songs on this 7". It's heavy. It's dynamic. It's gritty yet precise, a giant wall of layered guitars and raging drums. It's a little technical and a lot melodic. It's really good. Includes a download code that gets you a bonus track in the form of the band covering M83's "Don't Save Us From The Flames." "Pulling fragments of drone metal, post-punk and hardcore to craft what is almost a Pixies-ish identity crisis that's far more enigmatic, layered and engaging than its influences, this is the what one expects something to sound like when people use that emotive punk tag. Go figure, it takes some metal dudes to actually achieve it." -Exclaim! "I don’t wanna say “metal” or “sophisticated,” because both of those terms denote a certain lack of visceral punk-rock catharsis, and City of Ships still has that shit in spades. It’s just more layered, more dynamic, and a bit more note-y; guitar textures rise and fall, giving a more subtle shape to the shadows in the dark before they just freaking crank it up and come for you. And watch out - they’re going to get you." -REAX "enough mosh for the inebriated adrenaline junkies and enough technicality for the complexity-fed heavy music hipsters." -decoymusic.com
