All posts for the month December, 2015

Was checking out some of the bands on the Blackest Ever Black label. I found a few good ones (as you’ll notice over the next few weeks), but this is my favorite this far. Raspberry Bulbs = Steelpole Bathtub with even more creepiness. So while this song is called “Light Surrounds Me” I assume the lyrics are about how they are darkness or some such.

There’s a lot going on here, mostly positive (I see you back there, Warren Moon). Casablanca’s droll vocals can still be charming in the right context, and it’s nice to see Beth play something besides “brooding frontwoman”. But the best thing here is the song itself, a cover of a one-off collaboration between Lydia Lunch and early Danish punks Sort Sol.

From a new EP by Rat Columns which is basically David West’s solo thing. Not surprisingly great.

This is great indie psych rock. These folks apparently hail from some fortified municipality in the Netherlands.

I think I found this via Comedy Minus One. Anyhow, Eleventh Dream Day bringing the catchy rock’n roll. I’ve been sitting on this one to post for a while.
