CRUCIAL

Gnarwhal are getting ready to release their sophomore album Crucial later this year, an expansive record that balances the band's primal carnage with a stronger melodic focus than ever before. Furiously blending the technicality of progressive rock with noise, post-hardcore, and an undeniable math punk brilliance that simultaneously explodes in every direction, Crucial sets a new tone for the duo's experimental sound. Gnarwhal occupy a unique sonic space of warped punk, operating somewhere between the ballistic force and twisted scuzz of Lightning Bolt, Tera Melos, Hella or The Locust (albeit with a sense of patience). Crucial is punk for the forward thinking audience, an avalanche of brutal pop songs buried under the rubble.??Tracklist:?Side A?1. Marathon Ripper?2. The Smell of the Bag?3. Lazy River?4.
