Spit and Squalor Swallow the Snow

CD version of 2007 release on Ecstatic Peace! Little Claw's batter-rock style provokes a lot of aggression on both sides of the audience/performer divide. Originally from Michigan, they relocated soon after this album to the moister turf of Portland, Oregon (home of JOMF, Smegma, Meltzer, etc). Little Claw's rituals are tribal, their tongues unknown, and their recordings for XL, Siltbreeze, Ypsilanti and other labels have taken maximum r&b in many bizarre directions. This CD reissues a newly-mastered version of their second LP, originally issued by Ecstatic Peace! in 2007. It is a monster of form-disruption and includes some of Kilynn Lunsford's most easily comprehended songs. Beauty wears many skins. Here's the proof.
