"Who Are You?" is a cavernous stomper from Tampa's Merchandise. It sounds like it was recorded in the back of a cave with an orchestra of harmonicas and stadium-sized drums. It's a testament to the band's sound, as well as the importance of the mastering work of Pete Kember bka Sonic Boom, who you may know from Spacemen 3 or his recent(ish) contributions to Panda Bear's live set. Merchandise's upcoming album Totale Nite is out April 2nd on Night-People Records. The band is also taking their industrial grind on a massive tour. Dates below.
