devil in the woods. diw 40 / 4 tracks / 2001

500 made, hand numbered on the back sleeve. Came with DIW Magazine #3.1.

The Anniversary have the only track here that could pass as “Punk”; melodic and slightly emo-tinged. My favorite though is the track by Koufax; relaxed and melancholic chamber pop. The Preston School of Industry have a wacky pop tune, and I guess the Cole Marquis track is best described as slowcore in the vein of Low. [6]

Eigentlich haben hier nur The Anniversary einen echten Punksong; melodisch und mit Emo-Kante. Koufax gefallen mir am besten, entspannter und melancholischer Chamber Pop. PSI ist merkwürdig-schräger Pop, und Cole Marquis ist Slowcore à la Low.

Tracks: The Preston School of Industry - whale bones / Cole Marquis - running around // The Anniversary - 100 ships / Koufax - on the bright side
