“Flip The Cross”

To surface within the past twenty-four hours Flip The Cross has a more spacious feel than music from the LP previously featured, yet that needs to be put into the context of a band who deliver compositions that have the industrial feel of sheets of metal grinding one against the other.

Running the track at approaching four minutes Schnarff Schnarff allow themselves the room to expand the themes with shifts in pace and inflection giving Flip The Cross a sense of disconsolate anxiety.
