Ember Release 261 on Dec. 1

ember-700

I’m not sure which numbers to follow, but Ember have either been a band for five years or for one year. 2011 or 2015. I can admit it when I don’t know something. For what it’s worth, the Birmingham, Alabama, dual-guitar five-piece are getting ready to release their debut three-song EP, given the mysterious numerical banner of 261 — which I’m sure is either an apartment number or of some cultish significance that an earthly rube like me could never truly comprehend — and that seems to be the first thing they’ve put together, period, so their having gotten started last year would make more sense. Deduction! I’m probably wrong. Every time I try to fucking think about anything, it’s wrong.

However long they’ve been together, the Crowbar-style crunch that underlies the melodic vocals and post-metallic flourish of the streaming track “Living Bones / Dying Flesh” is just about soul-wrenching enough to suit my spirits this afternoon. If you’re also dug into that special early-week blend of misanthropic and wistful, by all means have at the nine-minute cut under the info below, which comes from the PR wire:
