One year after releasing their widescreen post-punk stomper “Awaiting Hills”, Manchester-by-Calderdale outfit splint are back with the new, heavy 6-minute shoegaze monster “Continuing Endless”.

Out now via Nice Swan Records, the song builds gradually, layering swirling guitars upon a foundation of pounding drums and throbbing basslines. Jake Bogacki’s vocals drift in and out of focus, buried beneath waves of feedback and reverb, adding to the foggy atmosphere. Yet, amidst the haze, there’s an undeniable sense of urgency and intensity that keeps you hooked from start to finish.

Listen below.

Splint’s debut single was “Military Procedures”, which was followed by “145” last October. Despite their short history, there already have been some line-up changes, but what matters is that they survived and sound very confident and strong.

On “Awaiting Hills”, the newest offering from the group led by Jake Bogacki, they continue on their own brand of post-punk, open and widescreen, injected with driving guitar riffs and pounding drums, creating a frenzied and chaotic atmosphere. It feels like the band is using the song as a blank canvas, painting new sketches on it with their instruments along the way. The result is powerful and truly liberating.
