\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n by Eryn Brothers<\/strong><\/p>\n Intimacy clangs and sneaks through our everyday lives, whether we try to avoid it or cultivate it. A more intelligent person than I would be able to tie the yarn together of a fractured world\u2019s need for that strange animal to the upswing of popularity with folk and country music, but today, all I want to talk about is <\/span>SPLIT<\/span><\/i><\/a>, the latest release and collaboration between <\/span>Creekbed Carter Hogan<\/b><\/a> and<\/span> Large Brush Collection<\/b><\/a> from<\/span> Happen Twice Records<\/b><\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n Creekbed Carter Hogan and Large Brush Collection\u00a0are both known for their intelligent, heartbreaking lyrics and tenderness, and this demo effectively weaves those mutual talents. Demos sometimes utilize the spaghetti approach\u2013 throw it at the wall and see what works\u2013 alongside rough recordings and sloppy rowdiness, which allows a good deal of grace in terms of punk and other rougher genres, yet r<\/span>ough and rowdy is not what you will find here sonically, even if the pastiche of the split tape is there. But grace is\u2013 Creekbed and Large Brush imbue those mussy attributes into their musings, blatantly and intimately rendering precise and sweet music to contemplate the messier parts of life. Put another way,\u00a0<\/span>for a very lush and devotedly musically vulnerable album,<\/span> SPLIT<\/span><\/i> is as raw and beautiful as any punk split I have heard, with the same quality that <\/span>Connie Converse<\/b> or <\/span>Karen Dalton<\/b> embodied.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Large](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ovrld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Large-Brush-Collection-Creekbed-Carter-Hogan-splittttt-01.png\")
