Hemingway tour releases
Hemingway just completed a mini-tour of the NW with Mammifer, taking in Seattle, Portland and Eugene. Now back in town, Demian Johnston has brought us copies of these two releases. The first is “Live at the Josephine 2009“, a 15 minute CDR EP in a limited edition of 30 copies. The sounds are heavy and brutal here with screaming vocals and seering guitars. It’s not unlike what they did on the “Hutterites” EP on Debacle Records. On the other hand, the C32 “Strange, How the Night Moves” is more glacial in its approach. Heavy waves of sound make this more of a doom ambient release. This one comes in a numbered edition of 50 copies, and is more polished than the CDR. Together they make a nice pair contrasting different aspects of this duo’s sound.
