While mangled drum machines played a minor role in Useless Eaters’ last EP (a tightly wound Slovenly 10” called Temporary Mutilation), Seth Sutton fully embraces a frantic synth-punk sound on Relaxing Death. Due out June 3rd through John Dwyer and Matt Jones’ Castle Face imprint, it features the previously leaked “Moist Cuts” and the following #selftitledpremiere, which Jones describes as follows:
The first time I heard “Electrical Outlet” I knew that Seth had some next-level shit for us. The groove insists, the synth circles like a cop car, and the guitar chimes like an unexpected doorbell in a strange apartment. Our man muses on self-immolation and destruction but I can bet the ladies ain’t hearing it like that over that beat. A death trip cruiser for the long night ahead.
