A brilliant flash of southwestern pop-psych shines off the bay with the release of "Words of the Kife", the first slice from a group of San Francisco veterans who might be insulted if you call it a debut. Like the neighborhood the band calls home, "Words of the Knife" is a record of hybrid bloodlines. Tucson flavored pop songs meld with the sun baked chords and beats of 70s tropicalia and sleepwalk through mirrored and smoky 1970s rock venues. Every genre that emerges here is shredded and combined for you by Mark Matos & Os Beaches.
