it seems like kelly's a bad influence, and you kids should stay away from her.

so, this appears to be a mashup of sonic youth and pink floyd, directly taking several riffs from both acts.
what attracted me to this band was the atmospherics and noisy aesthetic they were pushing, so i could put aside concerns about originality (that wouldn't be the point.) if i thought it was sufficiently harsh, and pleasingly chaotic. and, there's points, certainly. but, they seem to be pushing themselves - it seems contrived, like as though they'd actually rather be writing songs. worse, the apparent preference to focus on songs is diminished by the reality that the songs are prodding, and the singer is...calling somebody tone deaf isn't an insult, so much as it's a condition. it's an empirical question. he misses a lot of notes.
i might not care after a beer or two...
so, yeah - i wish it was a little closer to downtown, because it's the kind of thing i'd just grab a beer for without the need for too deep an exploration into it, if it was. like, maybe it's not the most brilliant thing i've ever heard, but maybe i can enjoy the aesthetic in real-time, anyways, even if the record's not really worth coming back to; that happens in this genre, and happens in this genre relatively frequently, even. but, getting to this would be a journey in less than stellar weather and without a lot of cash. so, i dunno.
if a mashup of sonic youth and pink floyd (maybe a pink floyd with ray manzarek instead of richard wright...as though the influence wasn't dominant....) sounds good to you, though, here it is.
