Kendra Sheetz North Carolinian Post-Punk group Tongues Of Fire has released a new single entitled “Numb.” The song will be featured on their new album, an EP titled Burn My Body Clean, which will be released via Florida’s Godless America Records on August 27th. Recorded live in-studio over two packed days, the new album offers a strident development on the band’s 2019 release Everybody Hates Us.
The group’s songwriter, singer and guitarist, Lowell Hobbs, endured the loss of his mother after a grueling cancer battle during the recording of Everyone Hates Us. But it is now, on Burn My Body Clean, where he has had the opportunity to truly process and explore the experience. These songs represent five stages of the grieving process; each written at a different time and each contributing to the furious catharsis that is borne out in the arrangements. While not clearly delineated into denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, each of the five tracks tackle distinct periods in their own ways. Lowell’s mother is also part of this record in more than just her voice and influence; in a profound symbolic act, her ashes are mixed with the EP artwork making this album redefine the idea of personal art.
