The Flenser - Love, the new full-length from Portland Oregon's Muscle and Marrow. Stream, My Fear, the first track from the bands new album now on Paste! Portland, Oregon's Muscle and Marrow write music that is at once harrowing and intense-yet also plaintive and vaporous. Formed in 2013 by Kira Clark (voice, guitar) and Keith McGraw (drums, sounds), Muscle and Marrow quickly discovered their distinctive sound.

The band took their time in the studio and laid down seven tracks that delve deeper into electronic territory and incorporate the familiar droning guitars, rumbling synth and tribal drums throughout. Clark's vocals are ghostly and chilling-almost unnerving at times-weaving intricate layers over a sprawling web of guitar and McGraw's rumbling textures and drums. Clark commented, "With The Human Cry, the songs were much more straightforward guitar and drum songs. I would hand Keith entire songs already written, but with this record we toiled away at the computer adding electronic elements and a lot of vocal layering, almost like my voice (being many voices) is desperately trying to reach some sort of surface, to break through, but ultimately cann
