Trumpets of Death are a Leeds-based gothic chamber folk/noise trio featuring Karl D'Silva and brother/sister Ben and Laura Wetherill, along with Alistair Neilson who provides occasional drumming services on the album. Yeah, that's what I did say - folk noise. The two tracks here indicate a band with a darkness at it's core - if their name didn't quite give that away. In this album track Jason, (the video of which which the band directed and starred in) you can hear a band at the frings of certain styles, maybe sharing a certain shadowy space with Esben and the Witch - dimly lit torch songs that begin faintly, tremulously, welling up, bursting open wider and wider. In Esben's case there's a distinct post-rock influence, whereas Trumpets of Death pile on the overdriven jazz and reach their cacophanous peaks that way.
Their five-track debut EP titled Teeth + Teeth = Teeths is due out on 7th March on Tin Angel Records.
