About this item

Guillermo Scott Herren (aka Prefuse 73, Savath & Savalas) is one of the most renowned producers of avant-rock and hip hop around today. Zach Hill is an incredible, self-taught drummer, hailing from California. He's played in bands with Chino Moreno (Deftones), Rob Crow (Pinback), Marnie Stern and will soon be drumming with The Mars Volta, as well as playing in his main group Hella. Together they've formed Diamond Watch Wrists, and this is their debut album. "Ice Capped at Both Ends" shows an entirely new form of Herren creations, organic songs featuring Guillermo's plaintive vocals, guitar and studio wizardry, Hill's singular drumming as well as previously unheard nods to 60s European acid-folk, classic American singer-songwriters and krautrock. Ty Braxton (Battles) also guests on "Simple Love Notes (5 Years Later)". Deceptively complex in their arrangements, the songs never fail to strike a fascinating balancing act between brooding and uplifting, making for an uncommonly well-rounded album.
