I shake my head and mutter "Touch and Go, Touch and Go, Touch and Go.. No wonder you're in the shit when your draconian internet practices prevent me from downloading the new Mi Ami album so I can see if it's actually any good before I spend money on it, which would presumably help you out a little bit in your hour of need. Piracy works both ways, yo!" Here's a split 7" on the label, with All the Saints' side a slow builder full of dark, shoegazey aesthetics and sinister crashing dynamics that brings HTRK to mind. Sleazy. On the other side These Arms Are Snakes do their usual math-y emo-y harcdcore-y thing to their usual comfortably above average standard. Quite a nice release really!

· What they’re saying about All The Saints: “For
anyone dosed up on post Sisters black attired
rockism, these Alabamans are a pulse racing
godsend” - Mojo; “All The Saints reclaim
shoegazer’s kaleidoscopic swirl meeting it with a
heavier, darker aesthetic” Uncut.
· What they’re saying about These Arms Are
Snakes: “Some bands clobber with complicated
riffs, others with brute force and speed, but
Seattle’s These Arms Are Snakes lay waste with
a wily combination of volatile rhythms and clever
arrangements” - Revolver Magazine.
· “Steve Snere’s vocal rasps and death‐metal
imagery are a blunt edge to his cohorts’
menacing math rock intricacies” - Time Out.
· 7” vinyl limited to 300 copies.
