Psymon Spine Share Channels

Psymon Spine hadn’t really been on my radar, but this new single definitely has me looking into their work as we prepare for the release of their new LP, Charismatic Megafauna. Their latest single continues my upbeat push on the day, digging deep into the NYC purse and pulling out bits of Chk Chk Chk and even LCD Soundsystem. The rhythm and the emphatic vocal delivery definitely reek of those spastic !!! dance parties drenched in sweat and the stench of spilled beer. But, they do add in some softened pop textures, which really elevate the song beyond just your everyday party trick. Stoked on this one. The LP drops February 19th via Northern Spy.

Rose Melberg Is In a Lot of Really Good Bands…like Imaginary Pants

imaginaryRose Melberg is in a lot of really good bands folks.  One that I’ve taken a particularly liking to has been Imaginary Pants, who released a 7″ earlier this summer, unbeknownst to me.  But, I’m on it now! It’s hard to follow that lady’s prolific writing! But, the group has offered up their new Imaginary Pants 7″ for free download, though I suggest you support the cause and pick it up from Rok Lok Records. Of course, I’m going to stick with my theme for today by posting the slower song, though there’s a more upbeat track on the flip-side.  Sure, I’m late on this, but how can I not write about great pop tracks?
