What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our bretty betty feeling ecstatic.

Christ almighty, this is excellent. Heavy Winged have chucked out 'Alive In My Mouth', an LP they recorded a couple of years back that's only now finding it's way into the world, lovingly pressed on to 180g vinyl and packaged with a CD including the full album plus an extra bonus track. This is probably the best new release I've heard since being drafted into the Norman army, an absolute battering ram of heavy, lo-fi, improvised noise-rock over two loooong tracks. It's just so unrestrained and primitive sounding, it gets me in some sort of indefinable tribal way.. My id feels completely poked. Like I know that a caveman ancestor of mine would be well into it too without any need for context or any of that daft stuff. He'd probably be pretty confused at what the hell the overloaded amps and feedback were but they'd inspire him to go out and do some hardcore hunter-gatherer shit and no mistake. If they started these jams in the centre of the Earth they'd probably strip away the layers of the planet from the inside until eventually there was nothing left but the band floating towards a terrified man in the moon looking his own imminent death in the eye. I imagine this is what Drum's Not Dead-style Liars would probably sound like if they completely shed their pop sensibilities and just went apeshit on shifting, drawn-out grooves and heaviness. Their reviews are usually total crud but I heard Ebert and Roeper gave this twenty thousand broken thumbs up. And rightly so. Limited to 647 copies as far as I know, so get yourself in there!

What the label says:

Last summer's CD release for Heavy Winged, "Blacc Lust," flew out of here and really seemed to find a good home with folks.  Following up on that response comes the massive and dense blowout that is "Alive In My Mouth."  Comprised of two of the band's dirtiest and, quite simply, heaviest tracks, it is music for tearing down physical walls.  In a small departure from some of our recent vinyl titles, there will not be a bonus CD for pre-ordering the record.  Instead, every copy of the album will come complete with a CD that features both of the album tracks in addition to a "bonus" 17 minute track.  Everyone wins! "Alive In My Mouth" will be from an edition of around 650 copies pressed on 180g RTI vinyl.  The record will be housed within heavy art sleeves bearing new artwork by Michael Canich and letterpressed by Dexterity Press (the same folks who we teamed with on Sarin Smoke's "Smokescreen").
