Vancouver's Sevens Nine and Tens are switching things up for their next album release, Set the Controls for the Heart of the Slums. While the band had trafficked in numbers-crunching instrumental post-hardcore in the past, they're now ready to put their mics to use for more than in-between song banter. You can hear the gang getting vocal on the album's first preview, "I Come from Downtown."
As you'll hear below, the track still features a heady array of sounds, from atmospheric washes of six-string distortion, to Pat Metheny-meets-Pelican jazz-and-post-rock fusion, to crash cymbal-happy beats. Now, the band are also adding a plethora of multilayered, breathy vocals to further flood the senses.
A due date has yet to be affixed to Set the Controls for the Heart of the Slums, but you can hear its first single down below.
