#2590 Swell Maps - International Rescue

Ridiculously good, ridiculously overlooked (post?) punk band, deigning to play some killer bass lines over waves of perfectly fucked sheetmetal guitars. There's that first hint of detachment, and a seemingly accidental knack for a killer hook.

Through a quirk of Spotify date-attaching, I thought this was a modern band from the Parquet Courts-via-Pavement scene and totally believed it. But that dead backwards - these guys were way ahead of the curve, and this career-hopping collection's a great listen for fans of dissonant, hooky disinterest 4/5
