Halifax trio Crossed Wires dropped off the face of the earth for seven years or so after their last release in 2016. On their new 6-song EP Ellipsis, the band displays a sense of urgency that suggests the pent up energy and inspiration boiled over, and inevitably had to come out. Ellipsis is a 15-minute thrill of an EP, that has all the right elements of what an indie punk record should sound like. Buzzin’ guitar work, rockin’ drumming, and killer vocals all built upon a foundation of high energy and strong melodies. Compared to their previous output, Crossed Wires has never sounded this polished. It’s a sound that suits them well and doesn’t come at a cost of losing their intangibles. Rain is my jam for today.
The Ellipsis EP is out now on cool looking vinyl at Noyes Records.
