An Insult to the Sport is a split offering from the genre-defant groups They are Gutting a Body of Water and A Country Western

Elements of breakcore, shoegaze, and obtuse slacker rock fnd home on An Insult, at times with no bridge at all between the disparate styles. In TAGABOWs The Brazil, a stop-on-a-dime is the only thing that separates hazy slowcore and adventurous drum n bass, unambiguous evidence of the bands penchant for iconoclast composition. A Country Westerns side of the split entertains similar stylistic mashups, opening with the atmospheric jungle of Lung before lurching into the alt-rock Keeping up with the Joneses, whose fuzzed- out lead riff calls back to bygone eras. On paper, the combination of styles may read as cacophonous or incompatible, but the end result is instead a measured contrast of sounds, a refection of the inescapable infuence of our chaotic time and the groups environments.
