Product Details

Portland's post-punk underground has long rewarded those paying close attention, and Lithics arrived on Kill Rock Stars carrying that lineage forward without nostalgia or imitation. Where their debut introduced the band's locked-groove minimalism, *Mating Surfaces* sharpens the angles further, twelve tracks that feel like transmissions from a parallel city where rhythm is architecture and language is texture.

Mating Surfaces is the second full length from Portland, Oregon's Lithics. Twelve tightly wound fragments of brittle abstract twin guitar, impellent rhythm, and absurd, imagistic lyricism. "A stern danceable sound that summons cut up snapshots of Su Tissue and Mark E Smith, an imagined landscape where Captain Beefheart hits that 99 Records Too Many Creeps beat." -Layla Gibbon (Maximum Rocknroll, Skinned Teen).
