New alt-metal/hardcore/shoegaze band Fleshwater is a recent band, with their first demo coming out in early 2020. However, their 2022 album We're Not Here to Be Loved is for sure my favorite record in recent memory. This shit is fucking gnarly. I'd get into the details but i'm in a time crunch rn so i'll be brief. Album opens up fittingly with Baldpate Driver, some heavy ass industrial stuff. Next couple of tracks, Closet and The Razor's Apple are some really sick mid/late 90s callbacks. Really unique still though, closest thing I can relate to it is maybe Hole? They have a really dark but warm sound at the same time. Love it. After that is I think my favorite, Woohoo. This song is fucking addictive. That riff is so goddamn dirty but its all so melodic at the same time. I really cant emphasize enough the instrumentation of these folks. There is both a male and a female singer, both are fucking great. The female singer sounds wonderful and really adds to the character of the band and I believe a couple of other members are from another bigger hardcore band called vein.fm, who I also think are pretty sick. Linda Claire is also a a dirty ass single. All of these songs are so damn good, i'm listening to the album through as I write this. Kiss the Ladder seems to be the single, with the most streams on all platforms. Fair enough, its a short little grunge song and god the fucking instruments sound so damn good here, god tier production. This song is also fucking addictive. Next is a Bjork cover, Enjoy. They took this really quirky almost Aphex Twin sounding Bjork song from 1995 and projected it through their own heavy industrial metal sound. Backstairs Breathing is the second shortest after the 1:17 long Kiss the Ladder. Backstairs Breathing keeps the album consistent and is also a good ass shoegazey track. Lastly is Foreign, I think the only song that competes with Woohoo for favorite. Foreign is just also so fucking dirty and just shows why the album is so good and has it end on a perfect note. God do I hope these fuckers release another record.
