Krause Releasing New Single “Vague Outlines of Almost Recognisable Shapes” This Weekend

I won’t attempt to predict the course your afternoon or evening might take, but there’s a good chance the new Krause single is going to have the nastiest tone you’ll hear today. The Athenian noise-sludge four-piece have a new two-songer coming out for Record Store Day — also, I guess they rescheduled Record Store Day? — this Saturday and the title-track, “Vague Outlines of Almost Recognisable Shapes,” is streaming in advance. It’s a monster. And it’s in your house. And it’s eating your foot. Bye bye, foot. Oop. Bye bye, other foot. And so on. Thanks, Inner Ear Records.

If you’re the kind of person who likes your noise noisy and wishes sludge would get over its own artsiness and get down to the business of bludgeon, Krause might just be for you. Won’t you take a couple minutes out of your busy day and find out?

Nasty shit. The PR wire has it like this:

KRAUSE – Vague Outlines of Almost Recognisable Shapes

Athenian noise-rock quartet Krause are back with a 7-inch featuring a pair of new tracks. The single is split into “The Vague Outlines of Almost Recognisable Shapes” and The Fraternity of Lost Men-Children”, the band’s first new material following up their sophomore album “The Ecstasy of Infinite Sterility”.

Band says: “”Vague Outlines…” captures the frustration and anger we have been feeling as people and as musicians over the past few months. It serves both as a reaction to the prevailing sociopolitical situation and a taste of what is to come from Krause in the future.”

This year we will be celebrating Record Store Day with Krause’s new, limited edition, 7-inch 45 RPM single “The Vague Outlines of Almost Recognisable Shapes/ The Fraternity of Lost Men-Children”.

Heavy-as-all-hell Athens, Greece noise rock quartet Krause formed in 2016 and exploded onto the scene in 2017 with its massive debut LP 2am THOUGHTS (Riot Season, UK). Next came the equally well received The Ecstasy OF Infinite Sterility in 2019, a brutal, sparsely melodic monolith of an album.

Featuring veterans of various scenes and genres (active and past members of VULNUS, Cut off, Rita Mosss, Casual Nun, Progress of Inhumanity, Dusteroid and Straighthate), KRAUSE play AmRep/Touch and Go inspired heavy noise rock and put on an equally unforgiving live show to go with it.

The Vague Outlines of Almost Recognisable Shapes/The Fraternity of Lost Men-Children 7-inch serves as a harbinger of things to come. Two slabs of uncompromising sonic violence, heavy yet catchy, that give an inkling of what KRAUSE have in store for us in the future.

KRAUSE:
Babis Kourkoulis – Guitar, vocals
Alex Vagenas – Guitar, vocals
Kostas Kagkelaris – Bass, vocals
Nick Prapas – Drums

    Hmmm, I sometimes think I may be that kind of person.
    When did sludge become an artsy thing?
