Currently Listening: Bad Indians / Destroy This Place / k.i.d.s.

Somewhat random post, certainly...

But this is a dialogue with music sometimes-even-as-much as it is my dialogue with you, (though even after this long, I'm still confounded as to why you'd read this...)

So, in that dialogue, the inevitable and habitually recurring conversational question of whatchya-been-listenin-to comes up...

I'm late on a couple of these (that is, if I am, at all, aiming for on-the-cusp-blog-o-news to jump on release dates... remember those?)... But still...

The bewitching psyche-blues and cavernous echo tumble of Bad Indians would be worth a listen - They just (and by 'just,' I mean more than a month ago) put out their latest cassette-LP - Sounds from the Big Room -

Now then, in terms of news...

Grunge-pop quartet Detsroy This Place bring a big sound, -big, loud, crunchy, tough, gnarled, -yet steady, assured, subtle, shrewd... And often adorned with some indulgent sunshine-hooks and the always irresistible anthemic-chorus.

They're stuff is legitimately new - Resurrect the Mammoth is up-for-ears-today, on the Internet (and forthcoming on Bellyache Records, with a release show, June 3rd at the Lager House).

Back to the not-exactly-new-side -- k.i.d.s.-- Deleano Acevedo (formerly of Silverghost) unveiled the psychedelic-bubblegum-pop-permutations that he's been crafting unassumingly in his basement throughout this recent winter. It's up for download from Beehive and has already been broadcast via Jon Moshier's Modern Music.
