#The Herms

6/16/24.

As I heard "No Lateral Line" from The Sheaves (Phoenix, Arizona) I thought three things: first, this doesn't sound like current music. Second, this reminded me of The Fall and The Herms.

Wow. If I was taking a Snooping the Bandcamp test, I would have gotten 100% since those three observations were made on January 28, 2024 when we posted about their debut LP.

"A Slave For Institution" is due on June 20th via Dot Dash Sounds and SDZ. None other than Tom Lax (Siltbreeze) wrote a short review on the Bandcamp page which included the following observation regarding The Sheaves as "an outfit of desert peccaries whose swinley snouts have expertly strung together another string of stinging pearls for thine earholes."

Men use “I’m just a man” to cheat on their wives. Odysseus uses “I’m just a man” to kill, slay and torture people to get back to HIS wife. They are not the same.

Minimum Table Stacks has released another gem. Unlike many previous releases, this is a new band, although it sounds as if The Sheaves could be from the early 1980s.

This kind of reminds me of The Fall or Swell Maps. But the vocals recall the sound of the unheralded Herms.

The Sheaves are a Phoenix, Arizona based band.
