TEAM DRESCH IS BACK with a NEW FUCKING RECORD, 30 years after their last full album. Of course, yes, it's been a long time between releases. BUT, aren't you eager to hear what 30 years of life, laughter, love, and loss of collagen sound like? This album SOUNDS LIKE lungs full of sorrow pouring out, eyes and guts wide open, yearning to become one with animals and nature, metal-flange-goth-grunge-punk-rock-and-roll, packed with vocal melodies and unmatched harmonies, Donna Dresch's soaring guitar that grabs you by the heart, so many other cool guitar parts all orchestrally intertwined, powerful bass, and a drumming mastery that deserves its own Grammys. The songs are extremely dynamic, captivating, moving, and simply... GREAT, both in feeling and sound. The Dresch team consists of Donna Dresch, Jody Bleyle, Kaia Wilson, Marcéo Martinez, and Melissa York. Bleyle and Wilson share the vocals, while Martinez and York take turns pounding the drums. Bleyle, Dresch, and Wilson all switch off on guitar and bass on this record. Well, Kaia played bass on just one song (but not on the song "One Song"). The lyrics tell stories of loss and sorrow, transition and transience, and telling the Christian right to go fuck themselves, once again. They paint rich landscapes of flora and fauna. Somehow, these songs are all love songs, when you consider love in all its myriad meanings. If you already know the now widely regarded classic emo-queercore sound of Team Dresch, this album will give you a bit of that, but it will also take you on unexpected and winding turns.
