If you're in Bloomington tonight, don't miss the New Terrors release show at The Bishop! The album has been getting some good reviews so far!

Prayer Breakfast will be opening. We'll be co-releasing their (well...our) debut full-length with XRA Records later this summer. Here's the first single, "Everything To Prove".

New Terrors - Night of the Creeps

With a title like that, you'd totally expect some spooky sounding stuff. Not so, dear listener!

After reblogging this post, I decided to check out more from New Terrors... and I was not disappointed in doing so.

This song alone is so good that I want to play it about fifty times.

Here's a brand new promotional video for New Terrors. Don't take it too seriously!

Mother comes out on April 10th!

New Terrors - "Night Of The Creeps"

Burke Sullivan, aka New Terrors, has been taking it slow.  Really slow.  He released a couple of tracks last summer, but since then has been fairly dormant save for the rare live appearances.  Well now he's back with a proper EP entitled Mother that is set to drop 4/10/2012 via Flannelgraph Records.  

The track "Night Of The Creeps" is the last song on the EP (save for the bonus track).  "Creeps" breaks straight out of the gate with a hard-hitting beat that persists throughout most of the track.  The auto-tuned, octave-layered vocals bounce catchy melodies on top of washing synths to bring a delightfully poppy texture to an industrial soundscape.  The lead synth line acts as the chorus and almost seems like something to sing along to even with the absence of words.  

Electronic music assaults our ears on a daily basis, but there is something delightfully unique about New Terrors.  The hard work and patience of Sullivan is blatantly apparent.  There is maturity embedded in these tracks giving them a soul... a life of their own.  Nothing will aptly prepare you for Mother, because nothing I write can adequately explain what it is.  One thing is for certain; it's nothing you have heard before.

You can pre-order Mother on CD or cassette here or pre-order a digital copy here.

**UPDATE**  You can stream the EP in its entirety here.
