NEW RELEASE: TWIN CISTERNS EP

On 31st March Bad Paintings release the Cloudspiller EP by Twin Cisterns. 

Twin Cisterns is the solo outlet of Chris Tenerowicz, a musician best known as a member of the long-running post-punk outfit, Self Defense Family.

Whereas that 15-person rotating line-up of SDF comes with a degree of anonymity, Twin Cisterns allows Tenerowicz nowhere to hide. It's simply him. And on his debut EP, Cloudspiller, courtesy of Bad Paintings, Tenerowicz allows himself the spotlight.

Dreamy, folky and primitive, Twin Cisterns' guitar based instrumental music, conjours visions of James Blackshaw or Warren Ellis' solo work.

Sand County Almanac is streaming on Half Cloth now. 

http://www.halfcloth.com/listen-twin-cisterns-members-of-self-defense-family-sand-county-almanac/

The 4 song cassette EP is limited to only 100 copies with download. Pre-order the cassette HERE.

The EP will also be available digitally and from all the usual streaming sites.

UK & EU distribution of the new Self Defense Family single

Bad Paintings is distributing the new Self Defense Family 7" single 'Bastard Form' in the UK & EU.

PRE-ORDER now: http://bit.ly/SDF-Bastard

LISTEN on Stereogum: http://bit.ly/SDF-Stream

USA & ROTW can order from Alternatives Label: http://bit.ly/SDF-USA

Self Defense return with a new single recorded by Jon Markson at The Gallery in NYC. "Bastard Form" finds singer Patrick Kindlon in his most bitter mindset to date as the instruments rage through rounds of a familiar melody. Side B's "Maybe You Could Explain It To Me" takes us to a more sentimental place with beautiful guitar and piano melodies as Kindlon remarks on all the things you can forget in a day. The release shows two classic dynamics of Self Defense Family in a way that feels new.
