Desert Sharks and A Very Special Episode, two of Brooklyn’s favorite underground gloomy grunge/punk groups, have teamed up for a split EP!

When approaching the idea of a split record, Brooklyn underground favorites Desert Sharks and A Very Special Episode decided they wanted to follow a loose nature-based theme for the 4 song release. Inspired by the elements of air, water, earth, and fire, they literally drew their alchemical muses from a hat with Desert Sharks focusing on earth (»Deeper«) and water (»Siren Song«) and A Very Special Episode exploring fire (»Smolder«) and air (»Airwaves«). The four song release is a captivating sampling of both bands’ powerful song-writing abilities. Heavy guitars, soaring vocals, and intricate drumming give listeners a powerful taste of their punk and doom-soaked sensibilities.

Recorded & mixed at Studio G by Jeff Berner, assisted by Meredith Okamoto.
