Artist: Leather
Album: Anchorite 7"
Release: 2010
Label: Caesar Cuts
Tracklist:
1. Inanna Altar
2. Prince Of The Salon
3. The Sportsman
4. Anchorite
Leather returns with their first piece of vinyl, the Anchorite 7". The EP proves to be a huge jump in quality from their demo tape and it's clear that things seem to be coming way more naturally for the band, who've solidified their grungy form of punk. If the song "The Swinging Man" came to life, it might sound like this [Note: My apologies for yet another hyperbolic My War comparison.] Their hot singer, who is endlessly writhing around on the floor during their live sets, still possesses a voice that makes me feel uncomfortable.
This formula produces an excellent EP. Three of the songs on here are very good. The fourth, "Prince Of The Salon," however, is incredible. When I first put this EP on, I found myself impressed with the opening track, "Inanna Altar," and, in the middle of thinking to myself that the band had definitely improved upon their demo, the opening riff and drumstick hits of "Prince" stopped me dead in my tracks. The song possesses such an incredible guitar line that is both catchy and punishing. Additionally, the vocalist deviates from his regular horny howling in what actually sounds like an attempt at "singing" and it's so good.
The Anchorite 7" is one EP that's well worth hearing. Leather has gone from a band of mild interest for me to one I'll definitely be following way more closely in the future. Also, if you buy the record (and, as always, you should so we don't feel too guilty,) prepare for a headache by the end of it!
