Wax
Moth- Spiracle EP tape review
The cornfields of the Midwest do
occasionally churn out some respectable, odd music- who would have thought it
could deliver some very raw-sounding crusty d-beat? Not I- however, it did and it comes to
fruition in the form of Wax Moth, from the desolate lands of Iowa. A shrieked shout is the preferred delivery
method for this band’s vocal payload, while the guitars are delivered on nearly
the same level, with only small differences in the sounds of the guitar and the
bass, and the drums are raw, distant, yet heavy d-beat that pounds hard at both
the slowest of breakdowns and the fastest of riffs. No lyric sheet, but judging by the song
titles and the sound of the music, it appears to be a left-wing insect who can
only communicate in high-pitched shrieks in an audible spectrum near and
surpassing the peak of the human capability.
The songs individually are not great, but as a whole single piece, this
is a pretty decent output for an EP.
Packaging is stellar as always from Mannequin Rein minus the lack of a
lyric sheet.
