Here's two songs from Brooklyn's Parts & Labor, culled from the final recording sessions with now-departed drummer
Christopher R. Weingarten. The blissfully noisy "We Were Here" features German vocals from Kurt Beals (Pterodactyl),
while the steady shoegaze of "Skimming Stone" finds P&L in a rare slowed-down but no less overpowering mood. Parts &
Labor recently recruited drummer Joseph Wong on drums and Sarah Lipstate on guitar; this new lineup will be touring Europe
for the first time July 2008.
Review by Bis Aufs Messer
Limited edition single, 500 copies, featuring two exclusive tracks by this noisy Electro-Rock band from Brooklyn/NY!
Great stuff that comes across as distorted as it is infectiously catchy. Sounds like modern Noise-Punk mixed with Chrome and Wire influences.
Review by X-Mist
Zwei exclusive Tracks aus der letzten Recording-Session der Brooklyner, zum letzten mal mit Drummer Christopher R. Weingarten.
The blissfully noisy "We Were Here" features german Vocals from Kurt Beals (Pterodactyl), while the steady shoegaze of "Skimming Stone"
finds P&L in a rare slowed-down but no less overpowering mood. Zwei grossartige Tracks!
Review by Flight 13
"… Die Parts & Labor Tour 7 “We Were Here (Wir Waren Hier)” bekommt einen extra-bösen Spin in der falschen Abspielgeschwindigkeit
von 33 anstatt 45 rpm - die perfekten Sisters Of Mercy. Beim flippen von A auf B-Seite „Skimming Stone“, noch immer auf 33 laufend,
erheben sich bratzende Dronewellen und wir befinden uns inmitten einer Szenerie aus Sechziger-Acid Party im Beatnik Headshop, wo
im Hinterzimmer Beowulf mit Blue Cheer ringt. Klasse! (partsandlabor.net) …"
