“In Twilight” by High Marks comes on like Jack Dangers producing a Front 242 track but in lo-fi mode that quickly transitions into pulsing, industrial noise rock. Think Godflesh on a diet of Red Lorry Yellow Lorry and The Jesus and Mary Chain. The rapid, caustic shimmer of guitar atmosphere riding on a subtle wave of low end with cryptic vocals floating over it all and all but overwhelmed by the haze conveys a sense of emotional transcendence especially when the flood of scorching guitar gives way to reveal a pulsing, distorted synth anchoring the song to a linear rhythm rather than the semi-organized chaos that made the rest of the song so appealing in its maximalist sonics.

The band’s new album Soured released October 18, 2024 via Propitious Artifacts on digital download, streaming and limited edition cassette and CDR.
