Flying Vipers - Cuttings LP
SKU: JUMP152
Description:
US import!
Flying Vipers’ sound is of another time and place. Deeply in debt
to the original Jamaican engineers of the ’70s who turned their
mixing consoles into the lead instrument, the Vipers lay down
steady drum & bass driven rhythms with jazz tinged melodies and
post-punk attitude. Recorded and mixed on a vintage cassette
8-track in a dank basement in Waltham Massachusetts, the songs are
manipulated with twists and turns of the console, saturated tape
delays and exaggerated EQ until the track becomes something new.
“Cuttings” is the Vipers first full length album, building on the
foundation of The Green & Copper Tape EPs while adding more
horns, vintage synths, and eccentric effects. The band may have
been begrudgingly prophetic when they released the first single
“Two Twenties Clash” in February 2020, as shortly after the world
turned upside down dealing with the Covid-19 crisis and America
struggles with reconciling its racist foundations. Within its 12
instrumental tracks, Cuttings is a sonic search for meditation
amidst the madness.
