Sad Sap

from Skin by WILD POWWERS

/
  • "Skin" Colored Vinyl
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    12' Vinyl LP on colored vinyl, (colors may vary). Includes digital download with 2 Bonus Tracks.

    "I have my regrets, but I'm not dead"

    Seattle’s “grunge babies” hit peak form on their upcoming third full-length album Skin, recorded and mixed by Billy Anderson (Melvins, Neurosis, Jawbreaker) and mastered by Ed Brooks, (Pearl Jam, Heart, REM). Fresh off of a couple of tours (with The Fall of Troy/Kylesa, and then Constant Lovers/Prism Tats), Wild Powwers gained cred as the upstart that “made you feel like you might want to smash some bottles down by the train tracks with your juvenile delinquent friends while skipping 5th period” (Stackked Magazine). They’ve since become regular show headliners and Skin is the flag that lets them stake their rightful claim to the throne.

    Piercing through Wild Powwers’ psychedelic wall of sound is frontwoman Lara Hilgemann’s scream; it’d fit over any classic post-hardcore outfit, but it belts out arena-ready choruses here. These massive hooks feature largely on the album’s front end, sucking you into the downward-spiraling latter half, a dark pit you won’t want to crawl out of. There, the aptly-titled “Night Sweats” moves through stark post-punk to primal death rattle shrieks and into the finale
    “Sad Sap”- the bleakest of ballads that recognizes sometimes you just have to lie in the bed
    you’ve made. Skin runs the gamut through epic psych-sludge breakdowns (“Buff Stuff”),
    straight-ahead rock (“Skin”), and even a nod to ‘50s pop slow dances (“May I Have This
    Dance”). The impeccable vocal harmonies between Hilgemann and drummer/reincarnated-John Bonham Lupe Flores are glued together with Jordan Gomes’ rock solid, melodic bass work.

    You see some shit if you gig nonstop and release three full-length records in four years. It’ll
    roughen you around the edges. But if you “specialize in the sort of carefree grunge riff-rock that gets better the dirtier it gets” (KEXP), that’s like aging a fine whiskey. They may “have (their) regrets/But (they’re) not dead,” and Skin’s immaculate rawness is a testament to that.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Skin via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

And it’ll wait till the morning
It will wait every day, it always stays just
For you
And it walks beside you too
The way it weighs, it wastes away half the day as you often do
And if you can’t wait to be something you wished you had started before
You just keep counting sheep in your bed until you can’t sleep anymore

Remember me as something distant you knew
Something I can cling to, when I stay inside
I could watch the tv for the rest of the year
It’s unclear when I’ll finish a night before five
And if you can’t get through to my line, take your time
I’ll be taking mine
I’ll be counting up all of the days just to try and catch up on the sleep I can’t face
