Die Spitz – UPGRADE FROM THE DEAF INSTITUTE

When the Venn diagram of passion, friendship, identity, and artistry collide, it can feel as if

fighting words are spitting from your veins. And as postmodern society crumbles, Die Spitz

giddily bounce between a dozen different ways to push back. If the world of rock music were an
ice cream shop, the Austin quartet have sampled each flavor, flipped the freezer over, and

started dancing with the employees they helped unionize. On their debut album, Something to

Consume (due Sept 12 via Third Man Records), Ava Schrobilgen, Chloe De St. Aubin,

Eleanor Livingston, and Kate Halter fight against the inescapable consumption that surrounds
life. “There’s a political side to it, but addiction and love can also be all-consuming,” Livingston
says. And as the foursome trade off instruments, swapping songwriting and vocal duties, and

generating powerful songwriting in concussive bursts, Die Spitz have created their own little

pocket of the world where we can all stand on the edge together.
