Couch Slut / Microwaves Split

The perfect pairing. Brooklyn's most maniacally raw agitators and Pittsburgh's paranoia-fueled, cybernetic no-wave grinders sharing one slab of 12" vinyl with eye-gouging screen printed jackets. With so much contemporary "heavy" music seemingly drawing from the same fountains for influence, Couch Slut are a breath of fresh air, with their truly unique voice projecting loud and clear above the din. Two exclsuive new tracks—a bombed-out, doomed rendition of Steely Dan's "Babylon Sisters," followed by the blistering original "Dorothy." Microwaves have been carving out their own path long enough to know how to expertly fill one side of a record with no filler. The musicianship is rivaled only by the tension seething from these three tracks, one being a brand new assault, another being a reworking of a classic Microwaves burner, and finally, a faithful, if demented take on Voivod's "Ravenous Medicine." Limited pressing. Heavy, handmade jackets with screen printed artwork by Shawn Knight.
