Earlier this year, we caught the rumor that Touche Amore and Pianos Become The Teeth would do a split record together. Today, Topshelf Records confirmed that they and Deathwish Inc. would release the split, with the Touche Amore song being “Gravity, Metaphorically” and the Pianos song being “Hiding”.

In their own words: “Here, Touche Amore offer up the exceptional “Gravity, Metaphorically”, a stripped down and discordant emotional roller coaster of a song. For over four minutes, Touche Amore rattle and buzz through tempo changes and jangly riffs, as vocalist/lyricist Jeremy Bolm pours out his heart and soul in his trademark way. A poignant step forward for a band that continues to impress with every effort…

…With this release, Pianos Become The Teeth offer up their extraordinary new song “Hiding”. Meandering melodic guitar work weaves in and out before (vocalist Kyle) Durfey expels “There’s no good in your eyes anymore…” telling a weighty and complex tale of the subtle nuances of love and conflict. The song continues to push and pull as emotions do throughout it’s five minute run. Slowly building only to beautifully crash in a way that only Pianos Become The Teeth can.”

The release will be out for download on January 8 and vinyl on January 22.

I finished school with a music theory degree. Before I finished school, I was a janitor. You really should apologize to all the janitors you've ever had. You hurt them. Seriously. You did.

But, now that we've cleared that up and you called your high school janitor, know that I quit being a janitor to pursue writing about music. So here I am, and here you are, and hey how are you?
