Weeping Icon Share Short Film "Control", Self Titled Debut Out This Friday!
Weeping Icon's self-titled debut is out this Friday, and the band have generated considerable excitement with the album's early singles "Ripe For Consumption" and "Like Envy," which have been praised by outlets like Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Beats1, Bandcamp (who described the album as "rock music at its most vital") and Revolver (who called "Like Envy" "emblematic of everything that made Sonic Youth so compelling"). Today the band are sharing a short film for the final single from the record in the form of its closing track "Control," a brooding and meditative tone piece that sees the band explore both the outer psych fringes of their sound and goth atmospherics that recall some of the wilder moments of Mask-era Bauhaus.
Pre Order The Record!
Listening to Weeping Icon’s debut album is to enter a dim catacomb of psychical catharsis. Urgent yet calculated riffs rip through a thunderous pummel of percussion, an anomalous blend of punk and psychedelic drumming carries the songs with an atmosphere of organized chaos.. Lyrically they are both serious and sarcastic, trading off vocalists to confront issues central to a generation, dosing listeners with a controlled sense of horror and humor like flavors in a dish.The band’s debut record “Weeping Icon” is a collection of 7 songs that archive the metamorphosis into heavier and more provocative territories. In keeping with their live performance, a sequence of dystopian sound interludes complete the album, serving as guided meditations between the candid subversive fury of the main tracks. Recorded and mixed by Uniform's Ben Greenberg and mastered by Jonathan Schenke in New York City.
