EARTH IS A BLACK HOLE [LP] (CRYSTAL CLEAR VINYL)

THE WORLD MAY SEEM LIKE A PRETTY STRANGE PLACE RIGHT NOW, BUT IF NOTHING ELSE THAT'S FORCED US INTO
REALIZING THAT BEING HUMAN IS A SHARED EXPERIENCE. THAT SENTIMENT LIES AT THE CORE OF EARTH IS A BLACK
HOLE, THE SECOND FULL-LENGTH FROM THE LOS ANGELES ROCK ACT TEENAGE WRIST.
THE ALBUM ALSO MARKS THE GROUP'S FIRST RELEASE AS A DUO, WITH GUITARIST MARSHALL GALLAGHER STEPPING
UP AS FRONTMAN, AND LONGTIME DRUMMER ANTHONY SALAZAR BACKING HIM UP IN SPECTACULAR FASHION. GALLAGHER EXPLAINS. "I WANTED TO KEEP THIS BAND GOING AND WE DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE, SO
I WROTE TWO SONGS AND DEMOED THEM MYSELF TO SEE IF EVERYONE WAS STILL ON BOARD." THOSE SONGS TURNED
OUT TO BE THE JANGLY POWER BALLAD "YELLOWBELLY" AND SPACEY ROCKER "WEAR U DOWN"-AND WITH THAT, A NEW
ERA OF TEENAGE WRIST WAS BORN.
THE ARTISTIC LIBERATION OF THIS LINEUP CHANGE, COUPLED WITH THE PAST TWO YEARS THE BAND SPENT TOURING
ALONGSIDE GENRE-SMASHING ACTS SUCH AS THRICE, ALLOWED TEENAGE WRIST TO EXPAND ON THE SHOEGAZING
SOUND THAT HELPED ESTABLISH THEM AS ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING ROCK BANDS AROUND TODAY. FROM LUSH, GUITAR-DRIVEN SONGS LIKE "HIGH AGAIN" TO THE ATMOSPHERIC AMBIENCE OF "STELLA" AND SYNCOPATED AGGRESSION
OF "EARTH IS A BLACK HOLE,"-MOST EVIDENTLY ON THE SWIRLING ANTHEM "SILVERSPOON,"- EARTH IS A BLACK HOLE
SEES THE BAND.
