2010, Death By Audio Records
Order the album and receive a free Coin Under Tongue / Pursesnatchers split 7", featuring the songs "Turnaround" b/w "Certain Famous Covered Bridges" (while supplies last)!
Limited to 300 copies! Reception is a sprawling manic depressive swing through the seven circles of rock. From crushing hedonistic anthems ("Reception") to emotionally naked confessionals ("Strong Things"), Reception hides behind no badge of any genre. With the entire arsenal of Death By Audio effects and instruments at their disposal, Coin Under Tongue has created an album with a sonic imprint like no other. But make no mistake, this is pop music with a lyrical heart big enough to pump blood into these monster songs. Features contributions from Allen Blickle of Baroness and production by Oliver Ackermann of A Place to Bury Strangers.
"The best musical ideas always crack me up even if they're not supposed to be funny. If there's any element of a record that blows my mind or takes me by surprise or just sounds like something I never would have thought of myself, I find myself chuckling. I really think it's the highest compliment that I (inadvertently) ever grant. Listening to Reception for the past week, I've been cracking up quite a bit. I really think these guys know what they're doing. They constantly surprise me, and this record has got the best lyrics from a New York band in years and years. Coin Under Tongue have made a record that somehow sounds like all the things you loved when you were first getting scared by music." - Britt Daniel (Spoon)
