Speedy Ortiz Major Arcana 2LP Orange Splatter Vinyl Faces – Long Player

Faces – Long Player

which no arranger or sound mixer can conjure up in the studio

and smoky R&B textures

tone poem that exquisitely encapsulates the darkness and passion of Stoker’s classic narrative

Speedy Ortiz Major Arcana 2LP Orange Splatter Vinyl Faces – Long PlayerOn their debut full length, Western Massachusetts' Speedy Ortiz manages a bit of magic by conjuring the spirits of classic American indie rock, while twisting those ghosts into new shapes. Sweet vocal harmonies run up against gnarly distortion, aided by basic, chunky bass parts and heavy, fill laden drums. The theme of the occult and the supernatural runs deep through Major Arcana, inspired by singer guitarist Sadie Dupuis' reading on black magic.
