Street Sects are releasing two new full length albums, each with its own distinct sound and name. Dry Drunk will come out under the Street Sects brand we already know, and Full Color Eclipse under their new alias, STREET SEX, boasting a different sound. Longtime collaborators Leo Ashline and Shaun Ringsmuth continue to push the boundaries of punk, hardcore, noise, industrial, and other facets of experimental music. Both albums are produced by Ben Chisholm (Chelsea Wolfe).
Spitting Images hits like a familiar bruise in pure Street Sects commotion. TURN BLUE flips the script, being slick, pulsing, and built for dance floor. Two names, two types of sound. The new tracks are presented as a conjoint animated video.
In their own words: "Dry Drunk is, in a way, a sort of spiritual sequel to our debut LP. If End Position was about the hell of active addiction, then Dry Drunk is about the hell of sobriety in a post recovery life, the mundanity, the grind, the frustration, anger and resentment that can build while attempting to adhere to a more normal, risk averse lifestyle without working a "program", and without doing "the work".
"Dry Drunk sits on one side of the street, clinging to sobriety with white knuckle desperation, locked in an unfulfilling routine, peering out the window with belligerent rage, with jealousy and longing, eyes fixed on what’s happening across the street... what it wants but can no longer have.......
"Across the street is Full Color Eclipse, a record which exists in the neon drenched nightclubs, the ‘by the hour’ hotel rooms, and the open air drug markets. It is about sex, hedonism, vice, recklessness, and indulging in fantasy and exploration without fear of consequence.
"These two records sit across the street from one another not only in a thematic sense, but in a stylistic sense as well. Dry Drunk continues in our previously established palette of experimental, sample-based industrial noircore.
"Full Color Eclipse is us leaning into our love for pop music, melody, hooks, and higher production values. It's our attempt at writing songs that might be (in some fucked up alternate reality) considered "fun". "
