The Shakey Hands Lunglight holocene/KRS
|
Lunglight is a fine record. These cats can polish a turd quite effectively. The quirky rhythms paired with the stoned out howls of singer Nick Delffs make for a delicious freak tossed salad. They drink like a Sparks, you can’t tell if you are supposed to be drunk or real awake. Lunglight pull off the somber through an upbeat toe-tappin’ boogie. The album opens up with “A New Parade” a lo-fi Brainiac-esk number gone sing along. The arrangements feel Fugazi (at the front of the record) meets Neil Young (towards the end of the record), with hints of Lee Renoldo whiplash, and they sound like they record in a BIG room. “Air Better Come” is a gnarly little dance party, with the appropriate amount of cowbell. They explore dub-esque rhythms on “Love of All.” Look for this band to blow the fuck up, they will be at Spaceland on October 22nd.
