about

LION EATER is Corresponding Handpieces' fifth full-length album, and is the band's most cohesive statement to date. Recorded in a very short burst and worked and reworked in the studio for months on end, LION EATER is a concise, 11-track collection that was chopped down from a full-blown 26 songs that were recorded and mastered. While the group's last album, 2011's CHIVES, was a largely acoustic affair, LION EATER is a whole different beast entirely: swirling keyboards, echoed guitars, pounding industrial drums, and the group's unique songwriting all converge together to make what is arguably their wildest album yet.

No stone is left unturned: from atmospheric instrumentals ("Perpetual Seizure") to psychedelic pop (the hazy single "Pure Radio Hymnal") to lo-fi dance numbers ("Idiot Blood") to indie-electronic hybrids ("Save the Leaves") to out-and-out anthems (closer "Sweet & Final"), LION EATER gathers up all of the band's strengths in one place. They remain unafraid to be quirky (as with their dramatic cover of Ke$ha's "We R Who We R", recorded in one take), and in doing so, plumb some of the deepest emotional depths imaginable (as evidenced by the heart-rendering tale "Susan's Lampshade").

Now, after nearly half a year of gestation, LION EATER greets you with open arms. Enjoy, dear listener.
