Hometaper stalwart Kaw Tapes is the label behind this Shy Rights
Movement lathe-cut 7". These two songs are dark and
lo-fi, sounding sort of like they've been recorded in a room adjacent
the 4-track - but that's all part of the charm. "The
Solemn, Balanced Weight of the Hammer" is a strangely detached
folk-pop tune. "Only the Lost Can Find Their Way,"
meanwhile, has more a rock sound; its 80s-ish infectious chorus makes
for a strong repeated listen. There's lots of hometaped crap out
there, but this is nothing short of enjoyable. The duo of Mark
Ritchie and Paul Doucét have created a record to be proud
of.
