Coachwhips / Intelligence Split


YEEEHAWWW. My favorite 7" in my collection. Blasted on thick 70g vinyl by Omnibus like 7 years ago.


COACHWHIPS: Led by mercurial underground fashion plate JOHN DWYER's (PINK & BROWN) scorching guitar and phone-mic'd Log-vox, MATT HARTMAN's (ex-HENRY'S DRESS, CAT POWER) rumbling drums, and VIVACIOUS VAL's (DOUBLE DUCHESS) cheap-brand keyboard melodies, the band burns down the house with two exclusive tracks recorded by stun-gun toting Chris Woodhouse.

INTELLIGENCE: Seattle's angst-ridden art-pop warrior, LARS FINBERG (A-FRAMES, DIPERS) returns with the help of Chris Woodhouse (Karate Party, FM Knives) to dish out three new, blazing tracks of solid post-punk clang. Thick rhythms and driving bass lines collide with sparse, angular guitar riffs and voiced pronouncements of science, future, and frustration.
