Don’t let the Parquet Courts/Parkay Quarts smokescreen deter from the fact that chief songsmiths Andrew Savage and Austin Brown have penned their second great album of 2014.
Far more than a stop-gap, ideas spew forth everywhere – some verbal, others musical – and the lo-fi edge inherent from recording quickly on 4-track suits their ramshackle aesthetic perfectly. Two cool covers (13th Floor Elevators’ Slide Machine and Nancy Sinatra’s These Boots Were Made For Walking) augment originals like the title track and Kevlar Walls with panache. Their epic run of skewed indie continues.
