Monday is usually the least rock-‘n’-roll day of the week because you have to put pants on again and be a real person. But local heavies Rose Windows and Kinski have just swooped in to save the day with two brand-new tracks that will rock your pants right back off into last weekend.

The flower children of Rose Windows recently returned from their adventures down in the dirty South, recording in the dark voodoo swamps of Louisiana with Randall Dunn. “Glory, Glory,” the band’s first offering from their upcoming self-titled sophomore LP on Sub Pop (due out May 5), pays homage to the landscape the album was recorded in with some righteous country-fried riffage that sounds like it’s been stewing in a big ol’ pot of gumbo and crawfish. The wah on the guitar is absolutely out of control. WAH WAH MWAHHHH MWAH WAHHHHHHHH. If you like what you hear, the band has a headlining show coming up Feb. 20 at Neumos with Motopony and So Pitted.

Local label Good to Die has a spicy new Kinski/Sandrider split release due out Feb. 17. The 12″ LP features two new songs from Sandrider (and their thunderous Viking-worthy cover of Jane’s Addiction’s “Mountain Song”), as well as two new ones from veteran local rockers Kinski—one of which is the searing drone stomper “The Narcotic Comforts of the Status Quo,” which you can check out above. The title of the band’s other new track is equally as good: “Beyond in Touch With My Feminine Side.”
