HNY
Sacred Fire [7"]
[SP-40-EP] $6
SP-40-EP_ba
Heather Nicole Young (formerly of Social Junk) recorded the material on this EP years ago while living in Philadelphia.  After a long delay, Spleencoffin is proud to finally bring these vaulted recordings to a proper vinyl release.  Fans of Heather's solo work will not be disappointed: Sacred Fire features characteristic minimal, jagged guitar chords, saturated percussion, and Heather's distinct voice -- all blanketed in controlled feedback sweeps and a generous supply of delay.  On the flipside, Ghost is more of an environmental piece, with paired voices (one effected, one bone dry), field-like synth sounds, and a faint low end pulse riding just below the surface.  A crucial 7" addition to HNY's untarnished discography.  Edition of 300 copies printed in silver and black. Buy here.
