These Arms Are Snakes - Duct Tape & Shivering Crows (Green & Pink Splatter)

Over the course of their seven-year run back in the '00s, These Arms Are Snakes covered a lot of

territory, both in terms of actual miles spent on the road and in terms of their creative bandwidth.

Though the band was often mistaken for a typical non sequitur-named screamo outt or another

"animal" indie band, the Seattle group quickly deed expectations and garnered a reputation for

subverting the popular underground sounds of time. The group cultivated a small but fervent fanbase

across multiple continents with their signature combination of synth-infused noise rock, bad-trip

psychedelia, _x001E_amboyant proto-metal boogie, and unhinged basement-show hardcore before

imploding at the end of 2009. And while These Arms Are Snakes' full-length albums remain tting

testaments to the band's frantic urgency and stylistic _x001E_uidity, there is a treasure trove of deep cuts

buried on b-sides and split releases that further reinforce their position as one of the weirdest and

wildest acts of the decade. For the rst time, those rarities and one-offs have been compiled into a

cohesive overview of These Arms Are Snakes' lifespan on the double LP Duct Tape & Shivering Crows.
