Old Wounds

by Young Widows

Overview

Consummate art punks, Young Widows combine the creepy intensity of the Birthday Party, the conceptual brutality of early Swans, and the avant discord of early-'90s "scum rock" (the Jesus Lizard et al.) with the try-anything approach of Black Dice and Liars. Their second album, Old Wounds, explodes with overloaded basslines, assaultive vocals, and beyond-distorted guitars, but there's an underlying sense of control here (more obvious on some tracks than on others) that makes the crucial difference between static and statement. ~ Jim Allen
