Chapel Hill, North Carolina's SPIDER BAGS push themselves further out into the psychedelic frontier than ever before, aided by engineer/producer WESLEY WOLFE. Recorded mostly live over the course of a few days, there's an exhilarating urgency to the record, as heard in riff-driven rockers like "Back With You Again in the World" and "Chem Trails." The band brings the tempo down a notch for "Coffin Car," which finds them mining an ominous morbidity over one of their prettier chord patterns. "We Got Problems" comes on like a true acid trip, alternating between utter terror and unfettered joy. Featuring a heavy and repetitive pattern, a slew of effected guitars, and searing guest leads from SUPERCHUNK's Mac McCaughan, the song encapsulates an entire SPIDER BAGS epoch in under six minutes. "Frozen Letter" is the band's fourth full-length record overall and first for Merge Records.
