Received a 7.2 rating from Pitchfork. VERTICAL SCRATCHERS is JOHN SCHMERSAL (ex-BRAINIAC, ENON, live CARIBOU and CROOKS ON TAPE) and CHRISTIAN BEAULIEU (ex-TRICLOPS!, ANYWHERE). Vertical Scratchers formed in Los Angeles in 2012. John and Christian met at a Thanksgiving party, began hanging out, and then just decided to be a band together. One of the most persistent elements you will hear throughout the record is the percussive nature in which the guitars were played and recorded. Guitar playing is vertical scratching, and in this band, the guitar strums are almost louder than the amps. Most Vertical Scratchers songs clock in under the two-minute mark but often go in twice as many directions as your average-length song. Pop deception. Think the Kinks with a Buzzcocks brevity. Daughter of Everything was recorded live in Los Angeles at The Smell in September of 2012. The special guest appearance lead vocal from ROBERT POLLARD was recorded at Waterloo Sound in Ohio by TODD TOBIAS.
