You may wince when you hit play for the first time on Mending’s new single, “The Back Alley.” The duo leans on heavy drone feedback as its instrumentation, which gives this and others of their discography an uneasy, nonlinear storyline to follow. But when unwound, the thread is beautiful.
Mending have been releasing short EPs like the one that is about to drop on Friday since last August; by December, the full 9-part record will be out in all its glory. Find more about the project on Bandcamp.
