Black Lips – Modern Art
The self described ‘flower punk’ band, Black Lips, sounds like if Anton Newcombe not only discovered his garage punk roots, but also discarded his perfectionist qualities into a 60s black hole of chaos. !@#$ it! We’ll do it live. The production is in a low-fi haze, and the raw delivery is kissing the lips of flower-power throwback and forever smearing them black. Good? Bad? Definitely not evil.
The Babies – Meet Me in the City
The Babies. Side project of Woods bassist Kevin Morby, featuring Vivian Girls Cassie Ramone, and Justin Sullivan, drummer for Brooklyn band Bossy.
It’s a shambling mix of guitar-pop hooks and low-fi surf sounds straddling the line between the Vivians’ garage pop vibe and the Woods’ alt-country stoner-folk melodies.
Young Marble Giants – Eating Noddemix
‘Young Marble Giants’ were a post-punk indie new wave band that released only one full length LP, Colossal Youth (1980), which used low-fi, low-tech drum machine effects and home made synthesizers.
It’s a colossally quiet album elusive in melodic fragmented subtleties. A type of a minimalism found in desolate dark spaces emitting a sound of natural scenic spaciousness.
White Fence
If White Fence is a hypothetical, then imagine a distortion laced flashback of The Strange Boys where Syd Barrett meets The Kinks on a sunny 60s psychedelic pop-influenced day. Never the mind the weirdness that combines Lo-Fi psych garage rock with echoing reverb and laughter, it’s just the hint of the hippie ideal turning Darker My Love..
