CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL unveils debut EP, "SOON WE'LL ALL BE SMOKING"

Clothesline From Hell has just delivered a new head-spinning EP, "Soon We'll All Be Smoking," a four-track odyssey that resists obvious categorization and solidifies him as one of the most arresting underground artists to bubble up this year. Filled with warped textures, fluid genre shifts, and an off-kilter beauty that sticks around long after the final note is played, Soon We'll All Be Smoking is a bold statement from an artist who isn't afraid to fuck with sound.

Clocking in at about 15 minutes, "Soon We'll All Be Smoking" draws you in with familiar-feeling interludes only to warp the expectations with inventive samples, unpredictable tempo shifts, and hypnotic soundscapes. It's an experience that encourages you to enter Clothesline's dreamlike realm and disappear into the fog.

"Soon, We'll All Be Smoking," a fluid, dreamlike experience, "You Don't Know" is inevitably the show's star. Draped in ghostly melodies and submerged vocals, the song mists the boundary between the close and the cartoon, trapping you in a kind of suspended animation where time has no currency.

Meanwhile, "Take This Water" demonstrates Clothesline's flair for tension and release, coupling ghostly production and a cantina vibe with a groove so undeniable it feels both alien and deeply human. This tension between the familiar and what's foreign, the corporeal and the warped, makes "Soon We'll All Be Smoking" so intoxicating.

"Soon We'll All Be Smoking" finds Clothesline From Hell elevating himself from Toronto-based artist to watch to artist who deserves to be widely recognized. Though he has yet to make any details about his next moves clear, other than they will almost certainly not involve anyone else's playbook, this is certain: Clothesline isn't following anyone else's blueprint. He's building his sonic universe, one warped and wonderful release at a time.
