Weird and wonderful.

Deathless Out May 17 Via Brace Yourself Records

Smoothy Groovy, moody tooty.

Cigarettes After Sex – Tejano Blue

X’s Out July 12 Via Partisan Records

Another solidly consistent track from the CAS boys, new album is shaping up to be a killer if this track’s anything to go by.

 

Body Meat – Focus

If asymmetrical bangs were music, this’d be as close as you could get. An acquired taste to be sure, but listenable as far as we’re concerned.

 

C Turtle – Melvin Said This

Expensive Thrills Out Friday Via Blitzcat Records

An abrupt and halting tune that stopped us long enough to grab our attention.
