Taking a rawer and more down to earth direction with their songwriting compared to the grander sound of their earlier material, Wrekmeister Harmonies are preparing for the release of their next album, We Love To Look at the Carnage. The album comes out February 21st, 2020 through Thrill Jockey, and features the contribution of Thor Harris of Swans, and Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu to the band’s core of JR Robinson and Esther Shaw.
Midnight To Six is the album’s seven-minute opening cut, a lamenting piece, heightened through Robinson’s brooding lyricism, the moody vocals and the band’s expertise on grabbing instrumentation which once again shines, even over this homelier and more direct approach.
We Love to Look at the Carnage was recorded by acclaimed producer, Martin Bisi, at BC Studios.
