RUSSIAN BATHS - "SCRUB IT"

The New York heavy-psych band's latest single from the 2019 album Deepfake is a noise-laden weirdo ripper that pushes their goth-tinged blackened shoegaze into heavy bouts of seasonal-affective brutality.  Jess Rees's throaty croon is buried under sheets and sheets of softened distortion and fuzz. The volume and intensity showcased on Deepfake make them easy successors to A Place to Bury Strangers.
