CITY OF ROTTEN EYES

Vinyl LP pressing includes download access. 2010 debut album from the Jackson, Mississippi-based band. Marsh and Daphne Nabors, guitar and bass, have been playing out as Overnight Lows ever since their previous band, the Comas, imploded in early 1995. Playing everything "in the key of Hep C," the Overnight Lows mix a sick and sickened attitude with a classic Angry Samoans/Queers aesthetic: establish a blazing guitar riff, yell some memorable antisocial blather over it, hit a chorus, and get out. Who has time for anything else these days? Overnight Lows aren't going to waste your time attempting to show you the path to enlightenment or the way to your lover's heart. They'd rather show you the door. Melodies? Sure, kind of, but more like rhythmic chants to accompany you on your third trip back to the liquor store.
