Peter Jones Where do you begin to try to explain how sounds like these work together in a collection like this? There is beauty in every track. I described it elsewhere as jazz - but with a metal edge... sticking through. I think it's fair: there is something sinister in the beauty... Favorite track: Sycamore.

Let it bleed through our eyes You're like violence, surrogate and rootless You want to feel, in a photograph See what the squirrel says to the fox Hold a frame around me And sculpt your words in our mouths, for it to remain A wreck through the hand, is it when you feel safe? A lie in honesty is coming for us You want to feel, in a photograph See what the squirrel says to the fox Easy for you, easy for me Do you deal with compliments? And let the explosions lick your skin. The fire so bright for opinion Without hindsight or trace You want to feel, in a photograph See how the squirrel murders the fox Write in blood for me, I cut you out for us.

Hold a love in your hand Now a judgement to condemn, Is there a truth for you and I? Is there a truth with history? They'll sell us all So come sell your heart We won't speak of this again We won't mention him by name, Every word is a weapon Every weapon deceives us all. They'll sell us all So come sell your heart Every false burden Spit on than adore They'll sell us all So come sell your heart Every superstition shall be removed All filthy lucre abolished I'll bring you joy, I'll bring you joy, I'll bring you joy, He said, with holy whispers I'll bring you death

I was never one of you And I'm not the same man, same man you knew Every face is a mask Every mask is a war for us There is a diagram for this There is a diagram for this Each cut is a map of disgrace Something genuine so bare You portray me like a grave I don't think things are working out There's a due process These hands are now hidden in code This blood now stains your eyes Say ill I won't let these cuts hold a wrong With a rage full of fire I want to see you swallow A reduction and a facade Attrition coming for you So beautiful so destroyed After this your colour now filled and ready to fall.

about

Exu__Wow was written, recorded and mixed by Deathpodal, in various locations across Scotland, and features a number of friends / musicians, including members of Copy Haho and PVH.

Bringing together post punk, DIY recording techniques, warm undulating melodies and a cacophony of instrumentation, the recording became something of an art project. Everyone involved played on the release for free and it was recorded in various locations including University of Glasgow, Princes Street Gardens and various flats in Edinburgh, a portacabin in Stonehaven and also on the streets of Prague.

This is a completely independent release, and by purchasing the EP through Bandcamp you're directly supporting the artist, Deathpodal - Alastair J. Chivers. Thanks!

"This EP is why I started writing reviews. A guitar, synths, strings, discordant percussion… lengthy explorations into sound and texture juxtaposed with coarse, lo-fi punk rock."
**** - Lenny Marx, Is This Music

"There are a couple of bursts of feral, lo-fi rock, reminiscent of the dissonant early nineties that give way to... quasi-musical weirdness. It's diverse and consistently well done..."
**** - Chris Cusack, The Skinny

"I just heard it floating around the office and it just sounded absolutely beautiful... if you find it a little hard going, that's down to you!"
Joe Lindsay, BBC Radio Ulster

"[Exu__Wow] is a whole piece of work, and one which lulls you in nicely before wrong-footing you with one of the most well-executed flourishes I’ve seen in a while."
Matthew Young, Song By Toad

"a magnificently constructed composition that's slow-burning and shadowy, punctuated by some jolting and angular guitar and strings and anguished-sounding vocals, not to mention screes of angry guitar noise... Anything but predictable, this is an exciting debut."
8/10 - Christopher Nosnibor, Whisperin and Hollerin

"[Exu_Wow] At turns very beautiful and beautifully scary!" -
Thomas Truax
