Dolores White Vinyl 12″
Now this is some intriguing shit here. Santa Rosa, CA’s Litany For The Whale play a chaotic mix of genres. Dolores is the band’s debut 12″ EP. The ambient, noisy opening track, “A Sleep”, segues right into the fiery fast-paced hardcore number “A Wake”. The band’s take on hardcore, metal and post-rock is impressive to say the least for a debut release. The vocals are laced with vitriol and the band is relentless as they completely envelope the listener. The noise rock interludes break up the pace quite masterfully. “Philistines” is an acoustic instrumental track…go figure. “Rotting On The Shoreline” is a brilliant center piece and “Lonesome God” is the epic album closer that does not disappoint. Dolores shows Litany For The Whale are quite capable of successfully going in any direction they damn well please.
