#261 Women - Public Strain

Pitchlist'd.

Man, you want to talk about muddled production, these guys are really neck deep in it. For the most part, I just find it makes this album largely unpleasant and largely unlistenable. There's some highlights in the first half, with the deerhoof angularisms of Heat Distraction and the ambient bends of Bells, leading into a nice ringy bass thump on China Steps, but it really gets into muddled, repeated chiming guitars, sounding like interpol B-sides. Just don't see myself having a lot of use for it 2.5/5
