Listen: Kirin J Callinan – “Love Delay”

Embracism

“Love Delay” is the new single from Australia’s Kirin J Callinan, who will release his debut album Embracism on July 2nd in US, July 1st in UK/Europe, and June 28 in AUS/NZ on Terrible and Siberia Records. The track starts with an itchy guitar riff, like a sketch from a Battles recording session, but it soon builds. Callinan’s voice in particular is a raw one, that combined with the guitar scratching about, makes for a lot of pent-up frustration. Come the two and half minute mark, it unleashes into something even more brutal, allowing itself to relive some of the discomfort – but only for a while. “Love Delay” ends suddenly, like it’s giving after getting nowhere, even though you feel like you’ve been through something.
