Swiss noise rock/hardcore outfit, COILGUNS have premiered a new track from their upcoming boundary pushing full-length, Watchwinders. Big Writer’s Block is premiering via Decibel Magazine who describe the track as a “lo-fi rager with a heavy emphasis on groove.” Pre-orders for Watchwinders are available HERE.

About the track, guitarist Jona Nido comments: “This brutal song is a living proof that only high pressure can build diamonds. When you’re facing a deep lack of inspiration, when conditions force you to produce things faster than your inspiration would normally dictate them to you, when you’re getting close to the point of losing control, you’ve find the proper engine to drive true artistic violence. For countless reasons, writing, arranging, recording and mixing this track was a total nightmare. It grew therefore as our favorite track.”
Watchwinders was written and recorded during one intense month-long session, with the results being an urgent and challenging suite of unpolished bursts. Watchwinders sums up the sheer pleasure of doing things the unusual way with nods to punk, noise, hardcore and more; summarising COILGUNS‘ discordant nature perfectly. Excessively low-tuned guitars, gnarly synths and eccentric vocals are carried away by obsessive drumbeats; the album serves as a complex and utopian mechanism of perpetual motion, an urgent and clever series of sketches.
COILGUNS will tour Europe alongside Yautja, kicking off in the UK before traversing the mainland. Full dates are below.
