Wrekmeister Harmonies Share New Single 'Midnight to Six'

Ahead of the release of new album We Love To Look at the Carnage, Wrekmeister Harmonies have released the single 'Midnight To Six'. The elegiac song acts as the album's thesis, charting a restless journey beginning in the middle of the night and ending in the small hours of the morning. Guitarist/vocalist JR Robinson's brooding lyrics grapple with phantoms both real and imagined, apparitions amplified by the feverish anxiety of insomnia. Robinson's words are buoyed by multi-instrumentalist Esther Shaw's ethereal melodies, Jamie Stewart's (Xiu Xiu) subtle electronic flourishes, and a steady churn of cymbal scrapes, thuds, and twinkling glockenspiel by Thor Harris (Swans).
