STNNNG spent roughly 4 years writing and recording their new record, Smoke of My Will. They have two previous full lengths, Dignified Sissy and Fake Fake. All are available from Modern Radio Record Label. Smoke of My Will is a vinyl only release and comes with a Digital Download card so that you can put this on your Ipod or burn it to a cd to put in your car.
First off, I must admit that I hadn’t listened to a STNNNG album in a few years and had all but forgotten about them. When this album is ordered you will receive a download code via email before even getting the album. A lot of vinyl will come with download codes these days so that you can have your music in a digital format as well. Listening to the digital download is nice, but spinning the record up on the record player really brings out the highs of this record. STNNNG really stepped up to the plate when they recorded this album.
When you put this album on you are greeted with a nice short instrumental named “Cluster Drome” which nicely goes into the next song titled “The Ugly Show” which I admit is probably one of my favorite tracks on the record. This record has great instrumental play and when Chris (vocals) starts you get an old school punk vibe. This is album is easily their best to date and hopefully they will not take 4 years to put out their next one.
