Talking with Hands autobiographical barn burner “Hot Shit” and Telefone’s sardonic takedown “Bullshit” just happened to emerge at the same time. This stroke of pure serendipity sparked an absurd and brilliant idea; join forces and release them together as The Shit – a split EP.
Both artists fleshed out additional songs for the offering and that brilliance bears fruit today. Four songs, starting and ending with the original offerings. It’s a sandwich of “shit” songs that are anything but.
Get Some Magazine premiered the release and had a whole lot of good things to say but I’m particularly pleased with “sonically heavy and spiritually sarcastic.” Or maybe “For not working on the songs directly together, Talking With Hands and Telefone are able to create some serious magic.” High praise.
If you haven’t caught the video for “ESP” yet, go ahead and tune into that now. Otherwise, steer yourself to Ampwall, Bandcamp or some streaming service to partake in The Shit.
