Oakland-based Disgust of Us's eponymous album is a pleasant collection emotional post-punk and alternative tracks. Most tracks feature refined female vocals, with the occasional appearance of a grittier male vocalist; the contrast made between the two stylings is effective. Unfortunately, the vocals are not as prominent in the mix as one would hope. Instrumentally, this album plays out like standard indie alternative, but allows for some refreshing experimentation on arrangement and feel. Reminiscient of Sunny Day Real Estate's "Diary" or Silversun Pickups. FCC warnings on tracks 2 and 6.
