Mad, bad, beautiful, biblical: ECCE SHNAK’s ‘Craig’s List Jawn: ¡Nay! / ¡Yay!’

NEW YORK’s art-rock quintet ECCE SHNAK present ‘Craig’s List Jawn: ¡Nay! / ¡Yay!’ the latest offering from their recent ‘Backroom Sessions EP,’ released via ‘Records, Man Records,’ ahead of their West Coast tour with Spacehog, and EMF.

Recorded at New York’s ‘Art Farm,’ studio, the EP is a four-song live set that includes, ‘Fight Song (Live),’ ‘Prayer On Love,’ and ‘Jeremy, Utilitarian Sadboy,’ mixed by Nicholas Vernhes (Animal Collective, The War on Drugs), and mastered by Grammy-winner Joe LaPorta (David Bowie, Foo Fighters).

“While we originally filmed these performances for our YouTube channel, we felt the audio worked as a thrilling scamper through old material and new material alike,” said David Roush, (bass/vocs). “In addition, we are finishing a new full-length album and wanted to have something to tide you over, dear Shnak’iversian, until its release next spring. So, until we can share ‘Dandy Variances’ with you all, here are the ‘Backroom Sessions.’”

And speaking of the upcoming tour, Roush added, “It is quite surreal. I heard and loved their big radio hits around ten years old. We are absolutely honoured to play with them and have immense gratitude to them for taking us on. Our set list is a mix of the dancey and fuzzy/psychedelia parts of our catalogue, so we are confident EMF and Spacehog fans will shnak out to Ecce Shnak and also feel joyfully reintroduced to the bands they’ve been hoping to see for the better part of two decades.”
