Physical Release

PRAYERS find light in Physical Release debut vinyl release

PRAYERS, the first release from Moomaw/Gravid Wives collaboration Physical Release, balances moments of brutality with an earnest pursuit of beauty, moving from washes of noise and bass heavy rhythms in to dense lyricism and hidden hooks. Born from a cold winter tour of the States in 2010, the album is the result of six weeks re-imagining old songs and discovering new ones during performances that relied largely on improvisation, followed by another six weeks holed up in a friend’s loft in Los Angeles writing and recording. Much of the music on this record began as long explorations of new equipment and sounds while Jackson and Dobbratz learned to play and write together. From these pieces songs developed through a process of reverse- engineering and editing, in a sculptural process that, while essentially still pop, proved to be a liberating shift from more traditional linear composition and form.

A trumpeting whale skin what we should do tonight

Relax, it’s only a memory of a moment by the time you realize what it was. You may only see her once or she may be imprinted on the inside of your eyes. But there it is, the next digital single from PHYSICAL RELEASE. Excitement. Wahl Ballads b/w Let’s Do Something Wicked. An ocean and 2 land-masses between Moomaw and Hans and here lies another product in the digital ether. Listen to these as you put your makeup on. Friday night. Sex. Let’s Do Something Wicked. let’s do something wicked. let’s do something wicked. Let’s do something wicked. Tonight.

Big Beats, Fucked Guitars, Sloppy Synths, and Dirty Voices

First single from Dobbratz and Moomaw’s PHYSICAL RELEASE. An entry point in to the coming full length. Giving them out in bite sizes in the hopes that a full listen will be given. Recorded at the Cat Chapel in Edendale, Los Angeles during the first of this year, these songs display the more concise rock side of a record that drifts off in to ambience, noise, folk , and disco.  A cautionary tale and a capitulation. This music requires patience and attention, imagination, and compassion. More to come soon. With love, PR
