  • The band began as a remote file-trading operation early in the decade, deep in the dregs of the pandemic. The players: Chicago-based Whitney Johnson, who releases music as Matchess and plays in Circuit Des Yeux; Cory Plump, who played in Spray Paint and ran the multimedia record label Monofonus Press before moving to Kingston, NY to help launch the esteemed venue Tubby's; Cleveland's Matthew J. Rolin, who releases solo guitar music and teams with wife Jen Powers in the Powers/Rolin Duo; and Detroit underground lifer Fred Thomas, whose many entanglements have lately included Tyvek and Idle Ray.

  • In keeping with that transformation, Winged Wheel are more song-based here than ever before, even if those songs are haunted incantations that don't adhere to conventional pop structures. The increased attention to form and structure comes across in the singles, which run the gamut from the pounding, dissonant post-hardcore exercise "Speed Table" to the gracefully gliding guitar showcase "Beautiful Holy Jewel Home." Most effervescent among the advance tracks is "I See Poseurs Every Day," which plays sort of like ML Buch's attempt at a Pixies song: a lively rhythm section crashing through a surreal hall of mirrors that smells like winterfresh gum.
