Kowloon Walled City Posts New Song "Backlit"

"Grievances" is the forthcoming new full-length from San Francisco's Kowloon Walled City (a name gamers may recognize as a location set prominently in the new Shadowrun: Hong Kong PC game).

Set for release next month on October 9, the band's first offering under the Neurot Recordings banner and third studio recording overall finds the eclectic collective at an artistic apex, shifting even further from sludgy post-hardcore roots towards a sparser, more melancholic heaviness.

On the seven-track "Grievances," strings rattle, guitars crackle and blister, notes ring out, at turns bleak and beautiful - sometimes both at once. Captured and mixed by vocalist Scott Evans at Sharkbite Studios and his own Antisleep Audio, both in Oakland, the recording is honest and spacious, and intense without artifice or studio trickery.
