The Phantom - Love Me (correction)

If you remember I posted an LP that was credited to The Phantom which featured Love Me and 8 other tracks a little while ago. Turns out the people that pressed that album thought The Phantom was Nick Todd and so tracks 2 through 9 are Nick Todd's recordings. I was pretty annoyed by this for two reasons; one being that Nick Todd's songs are slow and boring. And two; having an incomplete release is one of my pet peeves. So, here's the correction. Only two tracks... Whisper Your Love is a great mellow love song to complement the raw energy in Love Me.

Cat Whisker - A Cat Whisker Radio

Just received this last night. I really enjoyed it - it's a little different from the norm around here, but change is good I suppose. This album could be described as lo-fi folk-punk. A little light on the lo-fi/fuzz side, but still enough to please those who are used to abrasiveness. Definitely check this out if you've been looking for something to bop around to!

Download this album on his bandcamp!

Update

Finally after almost two months of being disconnected, I'm back to sucking on the teet of the Cyber Mother God we call the "Internet"!

Expect a crap load of new posts to make up for my absence.

Avoid that person's music at all costs.... the cute girl folk bullshit has worn out it's welcome years ago....

Nobunny - LP

Wow. Now this is something!! Nobunny has been blowing up since around 07 or 08, but this is the culmination of that... This records production values are waaaaaaaay past his other fuzzier stuff (which I prefer), but that's not to say these songs aren't heavy - it's still the same masked bunny crusader of garage rock that we all know and love.

Enjoy!

Woven Bones - I've Gotta Get 7"

What else could be said about the Woven Bones that hasn't already been said? Well, for one I guess I could be honest and say, although I did enjoy all of their 7" singles, their LP was a complete disappointment to me. All the songs on it were filler.

They kind of made up for that (very slightly) with this 7". Side A sees them putting more emphasis on guitar technicality and showing an almost surf style of playing it. Very catchy song, and although the guitar is very clear on this song, there's still plenty of fuzz to go around.

Side B has the usual fuzzed-out guitar sound. It features an awesome guitar solo half way through. The song is a bit of a slow one, however, it's still a gem.

The Boo Jays - Is Just To (And Be In)

I came across a supposedly new release from The Boo Jays. I checked their site, doesn't say anything about this coming out soon or anything, but it's definitely them playing.

Really dark and broody stuff going on. A lot more down-tempo than their previous release. They seem to have shifted styles slightly, veering away from the spooky-surf sound and going more towards a softer Woven Bones sound. Not really sure how I feel about that though.....

At any rate, download and enjoy!
