Year of the Rat

VINYL FORMAT. "Year of the Rat" was recorded at the culmination of 2008 and adheres to the principles of the Chinese sign. Side A memorializes this transformative year of political and cultural uncertainty with a cascade of guitars layering into a dense and propulsive charge reminiscent of the most memorable Hawkwind songs. The B- side "First Born" is not just a mediation on becoming a father - it's an uncompromising push towards a new sincerity. Don't doubt for a second that his position is heartfelt as Pink Eyes screams "this is the greatest moment of my life!" The two songs on this 12" compile the exhaustive energy of one of the most outrageous years in world history.
