The first 16 seconds of "Sixteen" are everything you need to know about
the Stitches. Mike Lohrman counts off, sounding oddly alone, the room
echoing behind him. The song lurches: raw, ragged, as low and slow as a
B-17 bomber. But before you can finish the thought, theyve jumped a beat
ahead. "Sixteen" revs up and then doubles over itself. Its all those
months of speed and strangling boredom; its a band fucked up on meth and
boozeas they were every session, Lohrman saysjust pushing everything
out as fast and hard as they can because for all they know, its going to
disappear again into a black hole of white noise, just like the last
time they tried to record. There isnt a shred of calculation or
restraint in the entire song. Its nothing but instinctsoon to be a
Stitches trademark. And when Lohrman counts off againdouble timehes got
the entire band behind him, punching every syllable through the back
wall. Johnny Sleepers crash cymbals bleed into every other instrument.
Its not like hearing the Sex Pistols for the first time. Its like
hearing the Germs "No God" for the first time. The same initial
fake-out, the same lunge for the jugular, the same chaotic potential
energy and the same subconscious implicationsit makes everything else
sound sluggish and obsolete.
