Birth Order - Farewell, Square Horse

 

Label: The Ghost Is Clear

Year: 2022

From the fertile crescent of the Mississippi River (no, not that part of the river...further north), nestled in the ample bosoms of the Twin Cities comes Birth Order and their particularly acerbic update on the Minneapolis' noise rock template. Which is to say, very loud, very abrasive, very ornery.

Birth Order know how to hurt you, whether that be the menacing slow burn bass pulse of opener "Sweet Pea", or the blast furnace attack of "The All-Consuming Child" that immediately follows. This band deals a continually raw hand, but it's what you need. I think. At least, if you're here, then I think so.

Look for this one on end of year "Best of 2022" lists.
