Sword II and DDDDangit!

In a rundown house in Atlanta, where the basement flooded, the air smelled like mildew, and the landlord tried to evict them for using it as an “electronic rock band facility,” Sword II made the most ambitious, accessible, and electrically charged music of their lives. Electric Hour marks Sword II’s first fully cohesive statement after working in an experimental, song-by-song mode. From psych and hardcore punk to a sense of drama and theatricality, they’ve forged a raw, unadorned, defiant sound.
