this used to rank low for me in the discog save for their best song (Grounded) appearing on this record but i feel its finally clicking. maybe the most expansive/adventurous indie record of the 90’s
This ten song record from 2023 is already an underground classic. Is it surfy new wave punk? Punky Disco? Whatever it is IT’S FUCKING GREAT. Lira Mondal is the vocalist I want to hear everyday singing every song. The obvious musical comparison might be Pylon, but there’s also a poppy Romeo Void vibe that I’m fully addicted to. The best record of this year and it came out last year! hahaha!
one of my favorite, most slept-on bands ever. cheesy 80s pop that has no right to be as lyrically impressive and self-aware as it is. also they did a mostly instrumental record in 2003 called I Trawl the Megahertz that’s all string arrangements with radio interview samples blended in if that’s more your thing. awesome range, Cars and Girls was my most listened to song of 2024. also the singer dresses like that now so u know he’s the real deal
Accidentally came across one song of theirs and felt compelled to listen to this whole album and holy fuck I’m so glad I did….slaps so hard.!!!!! Like little tears in my eyes this is just the vibe I needed right now. Reminder to self to delve deeper into bands you like
