#1370 Magic People - You are the Magic People

Listen / buy here!
 
Slightly tuneless, slow-paced, angular post-punk drenched in offkilter synth washes, evoking the mellower side of early Enon, Single Frame, and not to sound like a super hipster overobscure shithead - Built to Spill bassist Brett Nelson's side project The Suffocation Keep. And maybe even Ween, 'cause these guys just sound like they don't give a fuck, droning their way through quiet nightmares and can-barely-be-bothered-to-hate half-joking disdain for the world and everything in it.

It's clumsy, frustrating, and just strange enough, just charming enough, stuffed with just enough surprising angles to recommend pretty strongly to fans of strange, dissonant, fuck-you stuff 3/5

(disclosure: drum programmer / lead laugher Jesse Hubble's a buddy of mine)
