Oozing Wound - We Cater to Cowards (Digipak CD)

We Cater To Cowards builds exponentially on its predecessor High Anxiety's experiments with dynamics and unusual instrumentation. While songs start with Weil's arrangements, they mutate in the practice space when the monstrous rhythm section of Cribbin and Reynolds forge the pieces into grotesque new shapes. From the complex rhythms of Crypto Fash, to the Beethhoven-inspired slabs of sound of Total Existence Failure, the arrangements are inventive and unexpected. Horns from longtime friends Thyme Jones and Bruce Hesh Lamont add depth and texture to Weil's rippling distortion throughout, at times subtly blended into the mix only to erupt into a full skronk solo on Old Sludge. The complex arrangements and unexpected sounds elevate and enhance the group's searing sonics without losing its focus.
