Nashville experimental duo Total Wife, the project of Luna Kupper and Ash Richter, announce their new EP, come.back.down.x.recovery, out 9 October via Julia’s War Recordings.
A reboot of tracks from their 2025 album come back down, the EP features reworked versions of the songs created by the duo’s peers from recovered album files.
Luna shares the following about the new EP:
“Within the weeks leading up to come back down’s release, my hard drive got fried. The whole album was lost, along with half the one we’re currently working on and many other projects/bands I was recording. We brought it to a data recovery service only to get back a flash drive with 25,000 unnamed WAV files. Almost every file was a rotted screaming mass of different sounds and tracks digi-melted together as if the hard drive did a harsh noise remix of itself. Any sort of remix would’ve been impossible until I discovered a dusty old drive containing half-finished versions of some come back down songs. 4 of them were recoverable and brought so beautifully back to life by some of our favorite artists of all time, something I couldn’t have imagined back when recording these songs. I am beyond grateful and now know I should be better at backing up my files.”
‘make.it.last.x.full.body.2.recovery’ jumpstarts the release in collaboration with Philadelphia band Full Body 2, accompanied by an official visualizer by Ash.
