actually, i like this quite a bit, and would have probably checked it out. these are, in truth, the types of nerdy lyrics that i more readily relate to and, while it's a little light, it rocks nicely when it picks up.

it would have been next friday in detroit, but it's already cancelled.

yeah, i'm going to label this record top notch to groundbreaking, and we're constructing a sort of a theme for what might have been. this disc should be in your best of 2019 list.

after sorting through their older singles & eps, i don't think the slint or sonic youth suggestions are that off base (and there's a lot of mbv & swans, as well). the blastbeats are not some kind of accident, but this is fundamentally some kind of early 90s alt-rock, and you know that's where my brain really lives...

it turns out they went to berklee, so the bent knee drop isn't totally out there, either.

it's really all over the place, which is refreshing. i miss when music was this diverse and creative, and disinterested in following rules or appealing to markets. so, tell them to come back...
