Sybris Share Dead, Ready Gold On Hold

Originally recorded in 2011, during the band’s heyday, Chicago’s Sybris are finally prepared to share Gold on Hold, the long awaited 3rd album. And, while the skeptic in you is surely wondering why now, the simplest answer is best: it’s just a good fucking record. My ears hear remnants of acts like Life Without Buildings or Pretty Girls Make Graves, while also harkening towards more recent trends that blend the harder edges of psychedelia and punk with a wink and a nudge. Just listen to Angela Mullenhour’s delivery, shimmying and shaking between the rhythm section, sort of sliding in and out with this prowess that lets you know both the song and the audience are eating out of the palm of her hands. Pop and spice and everything nice that’ll guarantee Gold On Hold is as awesome as I’ve promised. They release the record on September 6th via Absolutely Kosher.
