Mrs. Renfield put me on to this sugar rush of an album (really more like a longish EP). Many tracks are one-idea songs, but who cares when the hook’s good and they don’t belabor the idea: all but one are under two minutes. It so happens this band/person/whatever played Gonerfest last week, although it was an afternoon slot on a 90-degree-plus day, so can’t say I’m sorry I missed them. But this stuff hits my sweet spot. Good hooks throughout. Here’s another:
Tales of True Adventure for Rugged Men Not Unlike Yourself
I get why Goner had him, it sounds just like Jay Reatard.
There’s a resemblance for sure, but I find JR’s hooks more banal, at least the ones I’ve heard.
I also think the Gonerds would appreciate the low-fi/DIY vibe.
