Now that’s one glorious first offering from Iowa City punks God’s Hand and it’s a mystery to me how i could have missed this 7″ when it first came out in May already. Remodelled, the opener of the two-track single feels kinda like an amalgamation of folk-infused post punk acts of the Volcano Suns, Angst, Fire Party or Sebadoh variety, maybe a hint of Strike Under, with the comparatively more recent, melodic garage punk goodies of early Woolen Men. The second tune then continues the trend of spanning both earlier and more recent punk history, this time feeling like a fusion between the post punk and proto-postcore of Minutemen, Saccharine Trust, Mission Of Burma and Really Red with the contemporary landscape of varyingly anarcho-influenced, noisy post punk by the likes of Marbled Eye, Institute, Corker, Sarcasm, Tube Alloys or Warm Red.
