"Profanity" is one of those loaded words, fraught with meaning and context, a trap for subjectivity. For Sinai Vessel, on their latest, fascinating EP, "Profanity" is a theme for variation, a way of getting at our lives; itÍs a synonym for "humanity." The seven songs collected here, dispatches of worn-in emo built around reedy guitars and nervous dynamics, always shuttling between the rafters and the floorboards, circle around lives lived somewhere between those same spaces _ between the holy and, well, the profane. This is a band that manages to move with its own narratives in a way that calls to mind more supple music; it's punk that finds a lot of its own purpose in subtleties. - Half Cloth Track Listing: 01.
