Black Heel Marks
Partnership * Results * Success

Two coasts collide as Black Heel Marks debut a sonic confluence of lightning and thunder. May we present the Partnership * Results * Success e.p. by the new dukes of electronic rock and roll.

Hatched in a dream, born over the rainbow, BHM solidifies the Tacoma/Toronto sisterhood on wax. Three prime cuts sweltering with self-generated heat.

K.P. Kendall and Wilmer Henderson III of legendary Washington State icons Girl Trouble meet Don Pyle, the producer and musician at least partially responsible for Greek Buck, Phono-Comb and Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, creating a coalition of mathematical dimension and articulation. Mmmmassive appropriation.

7“ black vinyl with deluxe full colour matte sleeve

These three songs mark the premiere release by Northern Research Studio
