[PREORDER] Team Dresch - Furthermore

TEAM DRESCH ARE BACK with a NEW RECORD, 30 years after their last full-length release.

Sure, yeah, that’s a long time between releases. BUT, aren’t you dying to hear what 30 years of living, laughing, loving, and losing collagen sounds like?

This album SOUNDS LIKE lungs full of grief expelling, eyes and guts wide open, yearning to be one with animals and nature, metal-flange-goth-grunge-punk-ass-rock-and-roll, loaded with inimitable vocal melodies and harmonies, Donna Dresch’s soaring guitaring that grabs you by the heart, so many other rad guitar parts all orchestrally intertwining, ass-thumping bass, and drumming mastery that deserves its own Grammys.

The songs are wildly dynamic, compelling, moving, and just… BIG, in feeling and sound.

Team Dresch is Donna Dresch, Jody Bleyle, Kaia Wilson, Marcéo Martinez, and Melissa York. Bleyle and Wilson share vocal duties, while Martinez and York take turns bashing the shit out of their drum kits. Bleyle, Dresch, and Wilson all take turns with guitars and bass on this record. Well, Kaia played bass on just one song (but not on the song “One Song”).

The lyrics tell stories of loss and grief, transition and transience, and telling the Christian Right to fuck right off, again. They paint landscapes rich in flora and fauna. In one way or another, these songs are all LOVE songs, when you look at love as the multitude of meaning that it is.

If you’re already familiar with Team Dresch’s now widely considered classic emo-queercore sound, this record will give you some of that, but it’s going to take you on some unexpected twisted turns as well.
