The rock and roll crew from Los Angeles
known as Wirewalker have released their latest official EP, “Jaw
Wired Shut.” The EP is composed of four original, previously
unreleased tracks, “Shakedown,” “The Wise Child,”
“Smithereens,” and the title track which opens the album, “Jaw
Wired Shut.” Wirewalker's “Jaw Wired Shut” EP has been
published on the independent Sanctum Records music label. Endlessly
stylish, driving and with measured amounts of verve and aggression,
“Jaw Wired Shut” is an album that proves these scions of the Los
Angeles alt-rock scene are more than worth the price of admission.
Wirewalker cite as main artistic
influences contemporary rock legends such as Radiohead, Queens of the
Stone Age, and St. Vincent. Their sound blends the velvety, melodic
groove of UK groups like Pulp and the Catherine Wheel with the more
American, pop-infused style of the pre-2000 era of indie rockers such
as Drive Like Jehu, Firehose and Pavement.
“Jaw Wired Shut” features
stunningly effective keyboard accompaniment paired with subtly
powerful bass lines, as well as guitar licks and vocal leads that
ring out naturally, unpretentious and raw. Wirewalker's
concrete-solid drums are both energetic and unassuming, the
combination of which paints the entirety of the Wirewalker sound in
vibrant, electrified tones and grows toward the foreground from track
to track.
Speaking of the theme of their new EP,
Wirewalker writes simply that “'Jaw Wired Shut' covers topics
ranging from fear of the unknown to exploring human nature.”
Wirewalker's official bio describes
them as having been “formed in 2012 as Ryan Pressman and Bobby
Thayer's musical project. Later, Sean Holt joined the group,
cementing the group's lineup. Since then, Wirewalker's sound has
evolved into an eclectic mix of electronic, rock, hip hop, and jazz
styles.”
“Jaw Wired Shut” by Wirewalker is
available online worldwide. Get in early.
