Throat - Licked Inch Fur 12” EP

Just roughly three months since I heard the debut 7-inch from Throat, they have this brand new 12-inch EP already available for consumption. The EP, titled Licked Inch Fur, is a four way production from Made in Kansas, Kaos Kontrol, Verdura, and At War With False Noise. If you were a fan of the two tracks that made up the bands previous single, then reading any further is probably just a waste of your time and that hitting up one of those labels (depending on your location) for a copy of this EP is a must. Otherwise, if you missed the original go around with Throat, then Licked Inch Fur might be a good place to start anyway. The four songs that make up the EP keep right in line with their previous material, in that it moves effortlessly between slow sludgier noise to the more traditional low-end and dirty sounding noise-rock that was pumped out of the usual suspect labels during the 90′s. However, on Licked Inch Fur we get to witness Throat working with a bit more variety over four tracks, which is good and shows that they aren’t completely fixated on just dishing out by the numbers mid-tempo riffing. You get the deep rumble and violent kick of Unsane here and there mixed in with some more punk influence than what I think was shown on previous material. No matter, this is another set of bulldozing songs from the promising Finnish group. Get on it.
