Release Date: June 25, 2013
Label: Beyond Beyond is Beyond Records
"Worthless is Curtis Godino, Skyler Toski and Nicole Zamfes. We make sounds for the soul. We are Worthless."
A little over a month from now, Worthless will put out another album called Keep Sleeping. At this time we only have access to the second track, "We've Always Been Here." Unlike their previous self-titled release, "We've Always Been Here" has its grasp on a far eastern influence. The lo-fi, hard to decipher vocals seem to be a common trait of the group. It gives it an eerie feel to fit in the puzzle with the desert rock progression of the song. A comfortable blend between twang and persistent fluid motion is found here, and can easily satisfy your ear. There is a soothing acoustic melody holding the song from the ground up. More complex percussive features start to add a bit of sophistication here and there. Worthless strategically uses the aspect of Start-Stop in this song to tie from one part to another smoothly and confidently. Not nearly as confident as the ending of the song though, where a multi-part harmony carries the ship to a safe docking. I look forward to seeing what the band will pull with the remainder of Keep Sleeping.
Worthless is also releasing this album in a limited edition cassette format of 100 copies. For only $8.00 you can pre-order this and also get a fold out poster with it. Items ship around the 21st of June.
