New Narrator - "Son Of The Son Of The Kiss Of Death"

A few months back we posted about the Narrator's second full-length All That To The Wall, introducing the record with the excellent-by-way-of-Pavement lead single "Surjfew". The album's lead track "Son Of The Son Of The Kiss Of Death" is more tense than that track's free-feeling indie, though, straining the band through a angry and anxious post-punk prism.

And compare to the first single, in case you missed it...
