BRNDA Share Peach Pit + Announce Total Pain

When it rains it pours, and today is one of those days when there’s just a nonstop influx of sweet jams making it into my old inbox, like DC lot BRNDA who’ve just announced Total Pain today. It’s really hard to pigeonhole their sound too, making the opening banger all the more special. I can hear some remnants of the noisier indie rock stylings of maybe a Sonic Youth or Yo La Tengo, but there’s a bigger pop brand bubbling beneath the surface of this one. There’s also this infectious sort of chant the group go through twice in the tune, and the execution of that moment just cements the hook you’re going to endure when you crank this one up. Total Pain is out on September 12th via Crafted Sounds.
