Frankie and the Witch Fingers - Data DoomTheres long been a growl festering in the West, an earthen rumble fed by tectonic tension, acrid smoke, and sun parched air. The brew has boiled over lately, a pressure cooked chaos that can no longer be contained. The growl has grown to a howl.. the howl is at the door. Few are as ready to meet the madness head on as Frankie and the Witch Fingers. On the upcoming Data Doom the band hurtles the listener head first into the wood chipper of

Pepper‰۪s‰Û_ or something like that

Records this year - and it's definitely their best yet

provocative sound

miscommunication and emotional inarticulacy that a married couple experience as they realise that their relationship is breaking down

They had the swagger of the early Rolling Stones

whilst Lady Brigid Dawson again graces the wax with her harmonic gifts

as well as new ones like Katie Crutchfield of Waxahatchee

a cattle prod sneaking around the backside of your aural cortex to jolt you into magical thinking

the group‰۪s aesthethic simultaneously recalls different aspects of early 70s musical experimentation: The Art Ensemble of Chicago

Here in Muscle Shoals

The LP will be released on the band's own PeMa label via Republic Of Music

recorded and designed to look and sound like the product of a commercial record label
