This is my new shit. Cassia, Osa and Adee from Portland. New Bloods. Their record comes out on Kill Rock Stars tomorrow, on April 8. I got my lp today. 24 minutes of post punk DIY magic. No guitar. Bass, drums, violin and female harmonies. New Bloods fit right into the history of Kill Rock Stars, but sound fresh and new. It's punk, it's dubby, it's soulful, it's Raincoats-y, and it's altogether something special.
The record, The Secret Life, is available tomorrow. CD and extremely limited (get it now!!) vinyl on Kill Rock Stars. In fact the record is already out of print, if you see it, get it. Coming soon on cassette, although a different label will put it out..
