Water Borders release LP details and new track

We’ve been on Water Borders since they first emerged last year from the ashes of the No Wave-inspired New Thrill Parade. The SanFran duo clearly have a love for the past as well, with influences that touch on industrial and noise legends like Coil, early Death In June and Swans. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is a retro-rehash, however; Water Borders are equally inspired by Rinse FM. After releasing a cassette, 12″ single and an EP, they’re finally ready to drop their debut. Harbored Mantras is a strong album, with the tribal drums, heavy beats and emotive, doom-laden vocals of their influences, but backed with production that harks to the modern. We’ve already heard an unmastered version of the beautiful ‘Feasting On Mongeese’ earlier this year; now listen to the echoing drip of ‘What Wiwant’. Download it here, and check the tracklisting below.
