The surfacing of material from Brooklyn band Advertising is bittersweet. On the one hand, I’ve been anticipating recordings from this band for almost a year now and so, yes, I’m overjoyed—but then on the other hand their debut album Pull signals the ending of the imprint known as Prison Art. And yet, if Prison Art has to come to a close, I’d say that there is not a sweeter note to bow out to than those played by these lovable, art-rock weirdos.

Their first single “Ending” isn’t so much of a single as it is a piece of a puzzle. The rest of the puzzle, it would seem, is the surrounding album that we’ll have to wait to put together. As you’ll hear, the track has its brief moments of melody, but it buries them under angular guitar work, time signatures that start, stop, and stutter, and a tail section that throws all conventionality out the window as it breaks down everything that it’s built in the preceding four minutes. It’s a mischievous brain twister of a track that might not always make things comfortable, but it certainly keeps them interesting.

Pull is out on August 1st via Prison Art.
