Today New Zealand’s Wax Chattels share their third single ‘Cede’ off their cathartic sophomore album, Clot, out September 25 via Flying Nun & Captured Tracks.
The vitriolic choruses of ‘Cede’ are in Amanda Cheng’s (bass/vocals) native language — Taiwanese Hokkien — and are an indignant confrontation about Cross-Strait relations and self-determination. This track follows their singles ‘No Ties’ — a melodic single about the experience of being a first-generation immigrant that BrooklynVegan called “ferocious” — and ‘Efficiency’, that We All Want Someone To Shout For called “hard-hitting slice of industrial hard rock”.
