Details

Out October 18th, Singles Too is a complete collection of Screaming Females non-album recordings, gathering the bands early 7 singles, digital-only b-sides, rarities, and one pretty great remix. The digital version also gathers six cover songs, including the New Jersey trios re-works of songs by Neil Young, Taylor Swift, Sheryl Crow, and Patti Smith. The tracklist -- which is arranged chronologically -- provides a roadmap of the bands progress through 15+ years, seven albums, and countless tours. On the first single we ever put out, there were mistakes that I made playing guitar that make me want to crawl in a hole and die, says guitarist Marissa Paternoster, recalling the sessions for Arm Over Arm and Zoo of Death. At the time I didnt know I was allowed to say, Can I do that again and correct it? I was 19, giving it my all. On Singles Too, you can hear Screaming Females lay it down at Milltown, NJs post-apocalyptic recording-on-a-budget one-stop, The Hunt -- tin roof, flammable mixing board, DIY growlab housed in back of Marshall cab -- AND at posh Los Angeles hit-factory, East West Studios, where they convened with members of Garbage to cover Because the Night. The b-sides included here also capture the breadth of the trios creativity, with compelling detours and tangents otherwise unrepresented in their catalog -- from Sammus and Moor Mothers re-work of End of My Bloodline to the stripped down demo of Rose Mountains Hopeless. And it doesnt hurt that Singles Too is also full of hits, even though theyre other peoples hits, though -- much loved cover versions of classics by Sheryl Crow, Taylor Swift, Neil Young, Patti Smith, and more. Singles Too is a rarities comp, yes, but its a very, very compelling one, gathering Screaming Females most obscure original material together with its best-known performances of other peoples songs.
