Today's Quick Mention: So, it would
appear
that the equally loved and hated Pitchfork is gearing up to do a variety of
lists and feature pieces in regards to the last decade of music. Your
thoughts? Personally, I can't decide if I'm excited or scared.
Finally! For a while now I've been patiently waiting for some all-girl
band to come along and take a little buzz away from the Vivian Girls, and it
has happened with the Splinters. Or, at least that's the case in my
head. Based out of Oakland, the ladies just released a two song 7"
titled Splintered Bridges. If you can find it then I highly
recommend that you buy it. Enjoy.
:The
Splinters - Splintered Bridges:
While I have no doubt that this quartet could turn the dials
to 11 and go full on noise, I rather appreciate the fact
that they seem intent on staying with the more garage
rock-enthused side of things. That means we get songs
that are easily accessible, and they get to keep their fuzzy
sound. It's win-win for everyone! Also, it's a
blast, as shown by this jangly gem from retro-heaven.
