DASH JACKET -ROMANCE.
(LIFE'S BLOOD FLOW)
as reviewed by mr. esq.
lo-fi/noise rock/neo-surf.
kinda cross btwn gbv&sebadoh&sonic youth.
two man outfit (but they really create a dense sound&atmosphere.) it's nice.
FCC CLEAN!
SUGGESTIONS: 4, 5, 7, 9, 10.
1. sebadohish instrumental begin. vox kick in late. kinda ride.
2. jangles. lo-fi ala gbv/pollard. gets bashy.
3. instrumental. this album gets even more lo-fi! very dirty&gritty.
*4. sounds like it's a cathedral shaping. pollard's voice haunts...
*5. instrumental. feedback city! (varrry sonic youth) =kicks ass! leads into...
6. this. very sebadoh&dinosaur jr.
*7. instrumental. almost surfy git. this is pretty nice....harsh noise kicks in&out.
8. gbv in it's rockingist momes. then it goes into a long jam. (i suggest fading out: it's a boring jam.)
*9. BEST TRACK: barely audible at first. sounds like a music box.
simple&sweet: a boy&his guitar gently weep. lovely.
*10. ALMOST BEST TRACK: really poppy jangle up.
