Rifle Men “Tree Wolf Is Dead” EP Out on Cantora Records
Brooklyn-based Cantora Records (MGMT, Bear Hands, Francis and the Lights) has a new release out by the Long Island-based duo known as Rifle Men.
Their debut six-song EP, Treewolf is Dead, is now available on iTunes. Stream a few of the tunes at their Bandcamp page.
Rifle Men is Anthony Gerbino and Daniel Gdula, and Treewolf is Dead was produced by Gerbino and recorded at home.
Treewolf is Dead is replete with ingratiating, 80s-inspired synth-pop melodies (and lovesick lyrics), folktronica sounds and Gerbino and Gdula’s alternating vocals. These guys met at Hofstra University, and bonded over their love of The Smiths, an influence that comes through both lyrically and sonically.
