Watery Love - Die With Dignity 7”

Having connections to Clockcleaner, Home Blitz, and Espers immediately had me excited for any forthcoming output from current Philly based bad vibe kings Watery Love.  That was the feeling I had when their debut single was to be released. What then occurred was them proceeding to beat the shit out of me with the fantastic “(I’m A) Skull” from that very single. It’s been awhile since that impressive debut, so I’m incredibly happy to get my hands on the latest nugget from the band, put out this time on the excellent Siltbreeze Records. While I thought I was ready for round two with these guys, I realized quickly with the opening roar of the a-side “Die With Dignity” that I probably wasn’t. Easily up there for one of the best things I’ve heard this year, it’s a pure A+ slice of messy rock that will undoubtedly rip right through you. On the b-side they choose a cover of Lou Reed’s “Leave Me Alone”, which really couldn’t be any more fitting for the band. It translates pretty well to say the least, as the original is a pretty good slice or slow thudding rock to begin with. It gets the treatment here, to fine results.

Those interested in picking this up can do so by hitting up Siltbreeze or I believe a number of distro’s still have it like Permanent and Midheaven. Each copy also comes with a random insert. Mine happened to be an unwrapped condom decorated with streaks of red marker. Gross, yet appropriate. Enjoy!
