Artrocker Unsigned Band of Year Winner 2012
Spectres ‘Hunger’ EP
Limited to 100 12″ vinyl – handmade sleeves & artwork
Released 11th March 2013
Spectres are a very uncompromising band. For three years now, they have created music that has driven people out of venues and made their own ears show the white noise flag; but they have ploughed through regardless…and it has been more than worth the pain: people are starting to take notice of Spectres, and the ‘Hunger’ EP shows why.
A definite progression from the 2011 release ‘Family‘, ‘Hunger’ shows the band experimenting with a sound that is often impossible to tame, and steering it towards some harsh beauty.
Recorded by members of the blossoming Howling Owl Records family (Oliver Wilde and Dominic Mitchison, Velcro Hooks); ‘Hunger’ somehow manages to knead the squalls of feedback, distortion and noise, whilst leaving room for the vocals to float around at will.
Released on 11th March 2013 through Bristol’s Howling Owl Records, ‘Hunger’ is limited to 100 12″ vinyl, that also comes with a CDR and download code; all housed in handmade sleeves and artwork; as always with Howling Owl.
