Actors & Actresses - Arrows - SWIRL COLORED VINYL 12" (The Mylene Sheath)

$11.99  $9.99
Save: 17% off

The stunning debut full length, and follow-up to acclaimed debut ep, by Kansas City’s Actors & Actresses. Slow, atmospheric, and glacial, the album brings to mind bands like Low, Juno, Swervedriver, and Disintegration-era The Cure. Though nearly every critic has name-dropped Sigur Ros as a reference point due to the album’s dreamy, nearly freezing progressions, the band actually has just as much in common with Failure’s brand of textural space-rock. Scott Bennett anchors the trio with a massive thrum of down-tuned bass diametrically-opposed by his soft alto vocals. Andrew Schiller’s guitars provide a backdrop that moves between subtle harmonic textures and blaring noise. David Sumner guides the rolling mass of sound with precise rhythm constructions from both his kit and banks of samples that give Actors & Actresses an instantly recognizable signature sound. It’s deligatroy by nature, it is deliberately melting away. The debut full length by Kansas City’s Actors & Actresses. The jackets will be thick 350gsm gatefold jackets with the pocket on the right to hold the record. The album was recorded at Black lodge recording by Dave gaume and mastered by Colin Jordan at The Boiler Room (Buried At Sea, Lawrence Arms, Yakuza, Less Than Jake, Ministry).
