An Emergency - Wrecked Angles

Ltd Edition Lp,  100 copies only all with Lithographed printed sleeves and on pink vinyl. Long awaited debut full length album from Exeter trio. Slicing guitars, buzzing synths and pounding drum beats combine with flailing limbs to form razor-sharp art punk that will appeal to fans Blood Red Shoes, Les Savy Fav, Hot Snakes, Ex Models and Sonic Youth. “An Emergency are, perhaps, the best band in Britain that you’re yet to hear.” Drowned in Sound. An Emergency exploded into life back in 2003. Wrecked Angles is the band’s debut full-length album, and follows on from the mini-albums If This Is The Future Count Us In (Freakscene Records, 2004) and We Are The Octagonists (Captains of Industry, 2005).  As DIY as DIY bands get, Wrecked Angles was recorded entirely without label backing, and is making it’s way into the world via a joint release between the band’s own Faux Discx imprint and Smalltown America. Over the last five years, they’ve taken their cathartic and energetic live show up and down the United Kingdom. They’ve shared the stage with the peers and influences alike, including Meet Me In St Louis, Pelican, Rolo Tomassi, and now-defunct DC dance punk heroes Q and not U. At the personal request of the band, they started 2008 off with a stint of shows supporting Blood Red Shoes. Journalists and fellow musicians alike have gloriously salivated over the An Emergency experience; Wrecked Angles is the zenith of their achievement thus far, a lovingly crafted and wickedly delivered punk record by a very special band. “Wrecked Angles truly showcases An Emergency's most poignant and accessibly erratic work to date. Jarring yet smooth, a twisted sense of post-punk melody winds through all 15 spasmodically eloquent short, sharp tracks - discordant camouflaged surf rock staccato guitars, strong vocal lines, and shuddering unpredictable time signatures rendering the complete unit more perplexing in its fraught experimentalism yet more lucid than ever before.” Rock Sound, May 2008.
