Cistern Share Crisis Single

I’ve only recently been turned on to Cistern, though I’ve ventured through some of the other projects associated with the group, like NOV3L and Crack Cloud. This tune’s got a bit of post-punk attitude, though it’s presented in one of the most refreshing styles I’ve heard of late; there’s this incredible rise and fall on the notes, matched up with the stabbing riffs, though it all seems to tumble down a hill right into the next climb. While you keep expecting them to take off and drive the tune into a speedy rendition like their peers, they completely hold back, building the anxiety as they settle into their closing statement. One of the coolest tunes I’ve heard of late; they release New Standard via Meat Machine Records on November 22nd.
