Music News - Swallow The Rat & Clone Drop Double-Header Single Release With 'Don't' And 'Speak, Memory'
23 March 2021 - 0 Comments
Aotearoa’s Swallow The Rat and The USA’s Clone have combined their efforts in a double drop of brand new singles Don’t and Speak, Memory, ahead of their upcoming split EP, due for release in May, 2021.
Swallow the Rat (featuring ex-My Education guitarist Brian Purington) and New York’s Clone (ex-Dead Leaf Echo, Squad Car) shared a stage in Queens, NYC on perhaps the last day before the city shut down in 2020. A mutual appreciation society was formed over drinks later that night. Swallow the Rat were in town to play the New Colossus Festival, while Clone were playing what was to be the first date of their debut tour of the East Coast. There were plans to share the stage again in New Orleans and in Austin at SXSW.
A global pandemic put an end to this, but the bands kept talking. Both had recently recorded EPs, and so a plan was hatched; a split LP with songs from both bands. Four tunes apiece, about the irony of memory recall, the loss of friends by their own hand, frustrations of gender role psyche and the fear of looking back. Dissonant delayed guitars and martial drums abound, despite the oceans and continents separating the groups.
