Last spring, the Chicago Band To Watch Slow Mass began a series of limited edition singles called Music For Ears, kicking it off with a 7" featuring "Siren" and a cover of Wilco's "Reservations." Today they've announced Music For Ears 2 is dropping this Friday.
Once again, the 7" will feature a Slow Mass original on the A side and a cover on the B. The cover is Pygmy Lush's "I'll Wait With You," while the original is called "Mal" -- presumably referring to the Spanish word for bad. Whereas both tracks on the first Music For Ears were sparse and droning, "Mal," out today, is an intense, noisy indie/punk bombardment. The song howls and scrapes through two furious minutes before settling in for a surprisingly calm landing.
