Media: Screaming Females: “Poison Arrow”

Contributed by Torgo. Posted by aubin on Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 2:30 PM (EST)

Screaming Females will be releasing a new EP on February 9, 2013. Titled Chalk Tape, the EP was handled a little differently than their normal releases which the band explained:

After the process of writing, preparing for, and recording Ugly, we wanted to take on a completely different project. The writing process for SF is totally organic. We get together and jam until something interesting happens. For Chalk Tape we decided to challenge ourselves by taking the complete opposite approach. For these songs, we started by creating a list of musical ideas which we wrote down on a chalk board in our practice space. We attacked each of these ideas and quickly recorded them with absolutely no rewrites.

A first track from the release called "Poison Arrow" is available.

Pitchfork has the full EP if you want to check out more. It's pretty weird.

And, Ugly was one of the best albums to come out last year. It's a major bummer it's flown so far under the radar

Fucking Mono!!

This demo is a lot different than Ugly but still damn good. I also agree that Ugly was easily my top 5 for last year and went generally unacknowledged by most people I know, which sucks. Seeing them this saturday in Brooklyn woo

I cannot stand the vocals.

Coming from someone who lists Laura Stevenson and BTMI! among his favorite bands, I will regard that as a compliment.

No, don't.

Are you in the band? 'cause if not, it doesn't matter how you regard anything said about them.

Ugly was amazing; probably in my top five of last year. Listened to the whole EP on Pitchfork and it is weird and excellent.

I love it when bands flip it and do it the opposite way, but for fucks sake - Don't TELL everybody BEFORE they've heard the music.

If I were a fan I would want to know if the band's going to drastically change its sound BEFORE I paid for the album.

If you're a person who checks out news about a band, you're very likely to have listened to whatever song they decided to post, right?
In addition to that, it's very far from "changing your sound". You change the process so that you're alright with it the final product sounding pretty similar to your other stuff.
