Multicult - Costume 7”

I’ve fallen behind some over the past week or so due to a number of things, one being a nasty cold that I somehow picked up during that time. So now I have a backlog of stuff that I want to get up here, which is actually kind of a good thing I suppose. Anyway, I’m basically cold free now and hopefully can be a bit more productive in something other than generating snot at a great rate.

Apologies to Baltimore’s Multicult for having to follow the whole cold/snot rambling. If anyone was grossed out by that, trust me it gets better from here. This here two song single follows a twelve inch that the band put out earlier this year and is still available I believe. If you were to search around and make an assumption based on the very little information you can find about the band, then you’d think they were merely focused on some blunt forceful sounding noise-rock. Granted, the band is in fact a bit noisy, but their music is greatly beat/rhythm driven. Much more than I think they would lead you to believe, it’s almost as if they are selling themselves short. Both sides of this single combine some razor sharp guitar plucking with very strong rhythms that has a bit of a Skin Graft vibe to it, albeit not as damaged or arty. It’s a bit of a meeting between a lot of the noise that’s been heard out of Baltimore lately and the workman/technical side of things of the past Midwest. Really dig this.

Multicult – The Costume (stream)

For those that are interested in picking this one up, it’s available on their Bandcamp. I think they have instructions up there on how to obtain a physical copy of the single. It also comes with a digital download that includes a couple extra tracks. Enjoy!
