The Audio Perv

After months of pinching pennies and milking overtime pay, The Press
pulled together some cash and hunkered down at The Fort in Bushwick to
document their most recent batch of songs in what will be their fifth
release with Goodnight Records since 2005. It was only after the final
mixes were agreed upon however, that the band realized that the album
later to be titled INTEOTWIJTEOAE (pronounced in-tee-aught-whit-e-ay) is,
above all, an album of transitions. There are songs of events smoothly
overlapping, the old fading casually into the new, while other songs
capture the violent, sparking convergence of profound, uninvited change.
There are stripmalls and subways, security gates and jackhammers,
termites and Entenmann’s snacks, volcanoes, jellyfish and thimbles. There
are no lectures here, however; there is sympathy and reverence for every
subject addressed, and every assertion has a qualifying foil, often penned
by an alternate band member. The Press’ commitment to collective
improvement is suggested in the band’s self-described genre “Co-Op
Rock.”

Buy INTEOTWIJTEOAE here or on iTunes. Take a listen to the album here.

Check out some reviews below as well as videos for the singles “Master” and “Jellyfish Wrangler.”

Knocks from the Underground – (10 out of 11 score) INTEOTWIJTEOAE, is a
true gem in the muddy swamp of Brooklyn music…It is impossible and
unfair to label this group as just one thing…This band has far surpassed
boundaries other bands shy away from, meshing seemingly unconnected
sounds in surprising and supremely satisfying ways.

The Deli (INTEOTWIJTEOAE review) - a real artistic statement … Combining
flamboyant pop exuberance, punk melodies and the occasional moment
of delicate beauty, they step out from the crowd of recent baroque pop
bands …..giving every track a distinctly Press-like feel. Take the album’s
single ‘Master’. ..it’s outrageously busy for a pop song, but still incites manic
arm-waving and fist-clenching joy on every listen

Fader/Tripwire – “Bless this Mess” – one perfect song you’ll want to kick
most days off with from this day forward

Charleston Post & Courier (review of NSB EP)- …so [The Press] created one
of the most innovative and provocative records of the year. Standing
somewhere on the edge of genius and insanity, The Press spits out an
explosively disruptive sound that is peacefulness and unease, but catchy
singles remain intact.

NOW Magazine Toronto (NXNE Preview) – Their chances for success are
high and their up-tempo, unpretentious and fun, fun, fun pop melodies
are catchy enough to spark and spread like wildfire…
