LITHICS - TOWER OF AGE (BLACK)
LP (12"/10" Album)
Label: TROUBLE IN MIND
Release date: 03/07/2020
Barcode: 0630125982273
Catalog no.: TIMLP0000155
Item ID: 494874
After introducing themselves to the world with 2016's 'Borrowed
Floors' (Water Wing) and throwing down the gauntlet with 2018's
'Mating Surfaces' on Kill Rock Stars, Lithics make the jump to
Trouble In Mind for 'Tower Of Age'. 'Tower Of Age' bristles with invention, wedging lyrical Dadaism into right angles of rhythmic minimalism. This is music in ellipses. A circular communication and a fusion of decades worth of musical insight into a singular refraction of thought and sound. Guitars plunk and scratch, and rhythms pulse and syncopate tightly wound around an imagist's philosophy to "use absolutely no word that
does not contribute to the presentation." The band's austere
approach to composition and wordplay elevates them above
and beyond bands seeking similar sounds; it's not that they use
less; it's HOW they use less.
Also available: TOWER OF AGE (CD).

LITHICS - WENDY KRAEMER EPHere's a cool proto-punk and art-rock influenced 12-inch EP by the Portland-based punk quartet. A raw overblown sound quality and stripped back takes on the songs offer a deconstructed immediacy impossible to conjure in the formal confines of a recording studio. |
