CSC-038 - Mares Of Thrace - The Interim Cassette

Bridging the gap between past and present, 

Calgary’s Mares of Thrace presents « The Interim » a compendium of eras for the duo presently formed of Thérèse Lanz and Casey Rogers and that featured drummer Stefani Mackichan along with Lanz, in its first incarnation.

Side A features the present line-up of Lanz on vocals, guitar, and Rogers on drums (also on bass, vocals and additional guitars on this side, along with handling recording & production duties) bringing in a brand new composition & leading single « Parable of the Archer » a slow burner of noise rock tinted with doom and gloom, followed by covers of Widow’s Bane by Vienna’s Tarlung (from their album Architect) & side A ending in style with an uncompromising, shape-shifting & insane cover of Paula Abdul’s 1988 dance classic « Straight up ». 

Yes, you’ve read that correctly. 

Side B features the line up of Lanz and Mackichan on drums, who started the band together, offering 3 songs recorded in 2013 that are more in line with their earlier styling of God City style riffing & “mathy” twists and turns not unlike the earlier input of the band on their 2010 and 2012 albums the Moulting and The Pilgrimage.
