Since I created Le Butcherettes in Guadalajara, Ive always yearned for the band to be part of a label/community that helps and supports artists to act fearlessly and help serve the music. explained fiery Le Butcherettes frontwoman Teri Gender Bender. So happy beyond words that weve found a family in Ipecac. Dream come true.
The eleven-song release had previously been available exclusively as a digital download via producer Omar Rodriguez-Lopezs label Nadie Sounds website but, as of Sept. 16, will be made available on vinyl.
In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Teri said of the subject matter on Cry Is For The Flies: There are so many demons I have inside theyre little gods. Theres a god of evil, the god of good, the god of sex, the god of lust. With music, I tape into those god demons. Its therapy.
Le Butcherettes is Teri Gender Bender (vocals, guitar, keys) and Lia Braswell (drums).
On Le Butcherettes sophomore effort Cry is for the Flies, Teresa Suárezs high-pitched yowl omits debauchery. But its not the same kind of blood-soaked garage rock from 2011s Sin Sin Sin. This time, the L.A.-based trio have settled for a beautiful narrative thats grounded in sadness and guilt, channeled through Suárezs venomous punk poetry. Add in guest appearances by Garbages Shirley Manson and Henry Rollins, and Cry is for the Flies is flat out bitchin LA Weekly Best Indie Album of the Year (So Far)
This is an amazing band, Gender Bender is rapidly heading to Karen O territory with her vocals and stage presence, and you should listen. NPR
