Joey Anderson had this to say in regards to the new EP:
“Gargling Rot is the trio discovering a stone basis. We’ve been constructing musical buildings for like seven years at this level, however our lanes are extra outlined. As experimental as we try to be, the method is fairly settled. Nick and Matt often have the bones of a music written out. I are available in later to seemingly simplify elements much more or lock in with the drums to permit Nick to hold melodies. Then, after we know we’re about to file with Kevin (Growing Nations), we solidify auxiliary elements akin to further guitars, synths and vocals. There’s something very engaging to me a couple of trio. Somebody in contrast us to the Police at a present final summer time which made me chuckle. Then I simply began actually entering into the Police. Gargling Rot provides a wider depth of our sound and feelings. I like lengthy pauses with no drums or vocals, as a result of then when Matt performs, it hits me a lot tougher. We did that and I hope we proceed to mildew that idea. The scariest horror movies to me are those that don’t present the monster.”
