Quasi, the eclectic rock duo of Sam Coomes (Pink Mountain, Heatmiser) and Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney, Wild Flag), enters their third decade as an intermittent band on the ramshackle double album Mole City. There are no barriers or limits between these two, and it's always an excellent listen. Fuzzed-out-to-fuck guitars, intricately simple drumming, addictive squalls (You Can Stay But You Gotta Go), ditties (RIP), freak jams (New Western Way), pop wails (The Goat), prog hiccups (Headshrinker), Eastern refractions via Wayne Coyne (Geraldine) – all present and accounted for. Mole City is playfully weird, but above all else a truly fun rocking album.
