Swallow The Rat - Leaving Room

Auckland, New Zealand's Swallow The Rat have announced their upcoming debut full-length, Leaving Room, due out April 24th from Shifting Sounds. The album is a compelling tangle of driving post-punk rhythms and raw, shoegaze-tinged guitars, as evidenced by its first single "Bird of Ill". The song highlights Swallow The Rat's ability to assuredly build tension from hazy atmospherics to an absolutely towering conclusion, all expertly captured by producer/engineer Nick Abbott (Foals, Pulled Apart By Horses, Robert Plant).

The notorious No A.G.E is back! A guitar/drums duo (Randall and drummer/vocalist Dean Spunt) with a penchant for self-recorded samples, No Age are mostly unconcerned with things like space or pause, and Goons Be Gone is gorgeously thick-- a hazy, delirious expanse that's both comforting and disorienting.
