We’ve been curious about Haunting Oboe Music’s July EP ever since we heard that they would be teaming up with recently Sound Off featured band Prayer for Animals. We figured it could either be a complimentary melding of like styles, or, given both groups’ penchants for wandering into dark psychedelic tangents, a bloody mess. Luckily, July is clearly the former, the two’s music melding so seamlessly it is difficult to tell them apart.
The July EP marks the halfway point in HOM’s EP a month project, so the split at this point makes perfect sense. The EP features one original from each band, one cover of the other group’s song, and then the final collaboration between the two, “Take the Wheels Off”, which we’ve posted for download below. The song rips along with Modest Mouse punch, but unraveling more subdued textures. Haunting Oboe Music and Prayer for Animals will both be unloading inside Emo’s tomorrow night, August 28, along with Transmography and Prom Nite.

I like Haunting Oboe. I was impressed by the July EP. Never had heard of Prayer for Animals but I was pleasantly impressed by their style.
