Release Of The Day:
How To Kill - Like Angels
How To Kill are an instrumental rock band, whose music draws on a diverse but resonant tradition of electric music - Earth, Can, The MC5, Bark Psychosis, Slint, The Skeptics, and Black Flag all echo in their open-ended yet propulsive ebb and flow, befitting a group whose members have individual backgrounds stretching from metal to free-jazz improvisation.
Heaviness and light, light and darkness: with no motivation apart from four friends striving in communion to establish a still centre and happy place in the noise and rabid threshing of quotidian life.
How To Kill play songs without words and let the music speak for itself, avoiding lyrical intervention foreclosing the imagination of the listener...
Like Angels is their debut recording, check it out.
