BORRACHO Dust Off Tracks From The Vault For New 7″ Release

Borracho

Doom Capital fuzz fanatics BORRACHO announce the upcoming release of the “Mob Gathering” 7″ single, to be co-released in a limited edition of 300 copies (200 black, 100 orange/black swirl) via No Balls Records (Germany) and Ghost Highway Recordings (Spain) on March 12. Both “Mob Gathering” and the B side track “Short Ride (When it’s Over)” are available for streaming, and the 7″ can be pre-ordered on the band’s Bandcamp site.

These tracks represent the first new material released by the band since they debuted in 2011 with “Splitting Sky“. Since then they have released a 7” for “Concentric Circles” b/w “Circulos Concentricos,” a 10″ for “Plunge/Return,” and pair of broadcast quality videos for “Concentric Circles” and All in Play,” all from that debut. But, these tracks are not newly recorded material. They have a long history.

Back in the spring of 2009, BORRACHO began work on what was planned to be their debut studio release, recording in an old, abandoned Art Deco mansion nestled in the woods of Arlington, Virginia. These early “Mansion Sessions” wrapped up that summer, but the band opted to not release these recordings. In the end, only two tracks from the mansion sessions were used as publicly available demos, and some of the material was re-recorded for “Splitting Sky“. The rest never saw the light of day…

…until now. Dusted off and polished up with a brand spanking new mix by Frank Marchand — who engineered and produced “Splitting Sky” — these two tracks offer an historical glimpse into the early sound the band was crafting nearly four years ago. Shorter, faster, and with the requisite twists and turns, they offer something new for the BORRACHO fan and those new to the band.

“We never expected to do anything with these songs,” declared bassist Tim Martin. “There is an unbelievable saga behind those sessions, and for Frank to have so spectacularly rescued the original mixes, we had to give them a proper release.”
