The bleary and majestic Philly punks Poison Ruïn were a Stereogum Band To Watch in 2023, and now they're getting ready to release the new album Hymn From The Hills next week. We posted lead single "Eidolon," and now they've shared a nasty new one called "Guts (Lay Yourself Aside)."
"Guts (Lay Yourself Aside)" is an excellent example of what Poison Ruïn can do when they're really on. It's a fast, sharp, weirdly catchy song, and it's not that difficult to imagining it coming out of the first or second wave of UK punk. But these guys record it with so much reverb and echo that it gains this dank and mysterious feeling, as if it's reverberating around the inside of a cavern. Check it out below.
Hymns From The Hills is out 4/3 on Relapse.
