Howless – Rain & Ice

Mexico City’s newest indie darlings are set to release their upcoming debut To Repel Ghosts on February 18th.

Finally, some fresh industrial-sounding noise rock from these youths who have clearly done their homework.

“Rain and Ice” is the second single, a heavy low notation synth lead-in creates an atmospheric & moody staging for a recurring apocalyptic dream-theme. The track is sonically dark & also pushes in a heavier direction without losing melody or hookiness. Blistering guitar is brought to the front entwined with the languid duo vocals and elusive lyrics of Dominique Sanchez and Mauricio Tinejro. Beguiling yet distant, sustaining a dreamlike feeling, a punchy beat is the pulse that keeps the ghostly melodicism evoked until the end.
