Krispy Kareem list Dad Rock as one of their main genres on bandcamp, and maybe they meant it as a self-effacing bit of irony, but it's bang fucking on. All those kids who grew up on Pavement and Built to Spill and Nirvana are dads now - underground/alternative is retro as fuck, banging out disaffected, wandering, brittle little bangers is downright square.
And these kids dug it out of the depths and found a way to keep it fresh, just when we thought we'd run out of ways to express yourself with guitars and as little as possible. They're spirited, burned out, the production paperthin and throbbing, every song squirming out from under itself, wandering down some alley to wonderland.
This rock thing keeps on lurching 4/5
