Prawn’s sound rattles with intensity and seductiveness reminiscent of post-rock mavericks The Appleseed Cast. The NJ indie ensemble just dropped their third full-length album, Kingfisher, a twinkly collage of emo heartache, brilliant guitar soundscapes, and super duper trumpets.
“Dialectic Of…” is one of the superlative cuts from the album. Vocalist Tony Clark belts angst-ridden poetry like, “I found forms, I found things you can’t hide/You found love and lust I’d rather not get.” The full-bodied instrumentation has Pains of Being Pure At Heart-like nu-gaze power, and there’s a dreamlike guitar break at the 2:30 mark. Sounds pretty neat, eh? Stream the rest of Kingfisher on Bandcamp here.
