Description
Tintoretto’s self-titled album is a rerecording of their previously released catalog, which was originally split between two releases; an e.p. and a four band compilation compact disc. This release was originally thought to be just a simple remastered collection, but upon further thought, the decision was made to rerecord the songs altogether.
The albums tone consists of angular, discordant rock with math rock influence dusting underneath. The eight songs span the breadth of emotion; love, loss, death, betrayal, euphoric happiness; the lot. Originally these songs were recorded by Eric Atkinson in various basements in the late 90’s. The songs were then rerecorded by Shane Hochstetler, at Howl Street Recordings in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from December 2021-February 2024. Influenced by the nineties Louisville Kentucky and Washington D.C. music scenes; a juxtaposition of angular guitars and pounding rhythm section (Rodan, Shipping News, June of 44, Fugazi, Hoover, Regulator Watts, The Crownhate Ruin, and The Last Crime).
