#245 Orange Juice - The Glasgow School

Have been hearing buzz about these guys for a while, recently read some review that spurred getting this, a compilation, but maybe their best album, from what I hear.

I dig. Good groovin bass, leading to a Minutemen-esque democracy among the instruments, with an interesting mix of catchy, noisy motion. I hear they're post punk, which makes me want to give up on that term forever. Its a bit arty, a bit old school, kind of like the new Girls album, which this is a nice counterpoint to. The album experience is a little bit funny, with some songs that seem to be variant versions of eachother, so themes keep coming back in an around, in a way thats distracting. I like it, its fun 3.5/5
