about

During COVID lockdown in 2020 Red Mouth and a select few friends got to work on music. Not knowing it would be anything other than songwriting and arrangement notes it turned into quite a musical adventure that churned out a group of songs Red and crew are immensely proud of. Recorded by any means necessary from locations spanning states in some cases, this collection of songs inject a new direction in sounds marking yet another new turn in the ever evolving sonic vibrations that are the Red Mouth canon. Lo-fi became an instrument unto itself and fuzz pedals to the forefront in ways not heard from Red in years. This EP marks a change in the wind that will no doubt be further explored after the release of the long lost full length, Et Tu Bruté, later this year. For Red this release represents a thankful nod to the punk EPs of the 80s and 90s. This may be the best place to dip your toes in yet.

PS There is no intention to release this EP digitally in full. If you wish to hear the full recording order the vinyl record here on Bandcamp.

lyrics

I still hear the roll of the drums
The bugle sounding the charge
I want to scream and holler
But, hell is just too small

I've become a muddy thing
The thunder splits my head
I want to stand up tall
But, hell is just too small

I scratch my filthy eyes
Right out of their sockets
At the sound of my sirens call
Because hell is just too small

I jump and I fall right down
I scratch and I scream and ball
I pound my bloody paws
Hell is just too small

I will claw and dig my way out
With my sword and my shield
And the world will stand in awe of
When hell was just too small

They will write books of my deeds
Children upon children will read
They'll etch in stone a new law
If I can tear down these walls
But, hell is just too small

Red Mouth Muscle Shoals, Alabama

A strange brew of Son House, Captian Beefheart, Elvis and Nick Cave, backboned by stomping, driving Muscle Shoals rhythms. All resulting in a gospel experience through a gothic Alabama that your typical singer songwriters won't be guiding you anytime soon. ... more
