Richmond, VA noise rock lovers Prayer Group have chosen an obscure format for his or her newest mini-album launch, Strawberry, going with a vinyl 10″ document to comprise their seven songs of musical abrasion. Strawberry is suitably adorned with an equally weird cowl—a tot topped with a berry for a head, that’s positively not a strawberry—that could be a good illustration of the quartet’s tension-filled, skronky rock. Followers of Huge Black and ’90s AmRep sludge will discover loads to love right here, as Prayer Group—Matt Voegel (vocals), Nate Dominy (guitar), Anthony Stout (drums), Carl Kranz (bass/ vocals)—do their finest to disturb and injury with their sonic sturm und drang.
Strawberry was recorded by guitarist Dominy at Room 2B (with drums and a few bass tracked with Ricky Olson at The Ward). The blending was dealt with by Chris Compton, and mastering accomplished by Brad Boatwright at Audiosiege. It’s set for launch on 10″ vinyl and digitally by way of Reptilian Data on August 29.

The band had this remark about its new document:
“Strawberry is a bizarre child of a document – a bit easy, caught in an in-between measurement, and with some temper swings. It’s undecided why it’s right here, and it’s pissed about it.”
