Argued with your parents lately?
Listen to this album.
Talked to a Republican in the last 24 hours?
Listen to this album.
Decrying the death of the guitar in indie rock?
Listen to this album.
Sad that Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore broke up?
LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM.
Favorites: 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 14 but almost all of the songs on here are incredible. No FCCs.
Similar artists/releases: Sonic Youth “Sister”, Ponytail, Iceage, Savages “Silence Yourself”, White Lung, Liars
1. (0:50) Short and almost ambient, distant guitar noises that fade out
2. (3:09) *** Starts right off with some guitar feedback before pounding drums kick in. Screaming female vocals, very Sonic Youth-y. Awesome.
3. (1:45) ** Fast, aggressive track that alternates between screamy vocals and distant coos. Nice short guitar solo worked into the middle
4. (3:10) ** Dark, catchy guitar riff with some awesome creative drum fills. Breaks into a slow, psychedelic, dirge midway through. Returns to the crazy riff from the beginning.
5. (3:10) * Loud opening moments with an ascending storm of guitars. Mid-tempo (for an album this hectic at least)
6. (1:56) Subdued almost Western movie-esque bass guitar with pounding drums and vocals that sound like a witch’s incantation. Cool as an interlude between louder tracks
7. (4:35) * One of the longer songs on the album. Chugging bass with rapid fire machine gun drums. Vocals only kick in with about 1:30 left.
8. (2:20) *** Pounding drums that transitions into a super catchy guitar riff. Reminiscent of “Silver Rocket” by Sonic Youth.
9. (1:53) Intense with cool drum fills and Sonic Youth-y guitar screeches.
10. (2:25) * You really can’t go wrong, no matter which track you choose on this thing.
11. (2:11) ** Hits of noise with galloping drums, super cool. Fades out in an insane flurry
12. (0:48) Reprise of track 1, with some Goat-esque guitars and cymbal hits
13. (2:35) Begins strangely with some guitar, a beat that just sounds like something falling on the ground, and eerie, chanted vocals. Discordant and heavy
14. (5:07) ** Longest song on the CD, opens with frantic guitars and a loud cry to the heavens. Great riffs with a super Kim Gordon almost spoken word piece in the middle. Calms down into a screechy, motorik, finale before melting into distortion
