The solo project of Brett Netson, well-known for his time spent in Built To Spill, Caustic Resin, on Earth's most recent album and much more, will debut this winter, as Brett Netson & Snakes is now preparing their Scavenger Cult EP for release.

Spawned in Idaho's Great Basin/Snake River Plain, Brett Netson specializes in heavy, psychedelic, lowdown rock and roll guitar; in some ways, that's all a person needs to know. But with the upcoming release of his newest full-time project - Brett Netson & Snakes, and the band's debut, Scavenger Cult  - as with the artist's 2009 intimate solo doomsday meditation, Simple Work For The Dead, and all six of Caustic Resin's full-length releases, there is much evidence that there are different dimensions to Netson's existential, freak out rock records.

Recorded on 2" 16-track tape with Jason Ringelstetter at Tonic Room in Boise, Idaho, mixed to 1/2" tape by Steve Lobdell at Audible Alchemy in Portland, Oregon with analog mastering at Salt Mastering in Brooklyn, New York, the release features drummer Steve Gere, and stereo bass contributions from Ian Waters and Josh Gallaway, in addition to guitar, bass and vocals courtesy of Netson.

Issues the frontman of his latest venture, "Scavenger Cult was made specifically for the decent '70s tuners and turntables that you can still occasionally find at yard sales, pawn shops and thrift stores. Crank this motherfucker up, open the front door and sit on the porch. Smoke, drink, whatever, and just be okay with your damn self and ALL the crazy shit that you are."

Scavenger Cult will see release this March on LP and digital in the US through Think Indie/Coallition Of Independent Music Stores distributor and BandCamp, and in Europe, Australia and New Zealand through TYM Records. A limited pre-order of 100 LPs including a digital download and bonus tracks including live jams and alternate mixes will be available in January.
