"My lips are desert", cries Testface on "Sounds Don't Come"; it's a desert teeming with life - and pain.
Creating under the moniker of Testface, David Snider from Oregon has been working in shadow for years. First writing and recording alone, then moving to working with friends until he's begun receiving underground following and acclaim.
His second LP, Doctor Won't You Get Us to Dawn (released in 2005), is a haunting work expressing the wounded reality of day to day life in an odd mixture of hook-laden melodies and hurtful lyrics. It may bring you down, only to stare at yourself in the mirror, and move on.
Check out Testface on his website and MySpace for more tracks and info. Get his Doctor Won't You Get Us to Dawn LP on CDBaby or MySpace.
