So after work yesterday I video-chatted with my friend Erin, who is out in Chicago running a little label, and we had a Google+ Hangout drink together (it’s not drinking alone if the people you’re talking to on the internet are also drinking!!!). I had like, ya know, a fairrrllly large amount of…
Awesome review! Wish I was there, but alas, I live across the country.
Side B of Todo Muere Vol. 2 explores the more psychedelic side of our roster, beginning with “A Minor,” an epic unreleased jam by The Men. Santiago, Chile’s Föllakzoid returns to the fold to unveil their new song “Trees”; Sacred Bones will be releasing a full length from them later this year. The Amen Dunes track, “Ethio Song,” is from a European double 7” originally on kindred label Kraak, and is one of his most moving works to date. Finally, we end with an alternate demo version of “Mind Daze” from our beloved Psychic Ills. - via soundcloud
New track by The Men. this song is too good for life, and they’re playing at the Smell in June! Dying of happiness!!
“Ex-Dreams” by The Men // Open Your Heart (2012)
What better way to start your Friday (weekend) than with a blast of noisy punk from Brooklyn’s The Men. This is another track from their forthcoming album on Sacred Bones. It’s fast, melodic, noisy and could easily soundtrack your weekend’s more exciting moments and still have plenty of energy to spare. Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea, but a must listen for fans of The Replacements, Rocket From the Crypt, and The Wrens.
Can’t wait for this album!
“Open Your Heart” by The Men // Open Your Heart (2012)
Here’s a blast of that noisy, post punk infused power pop that keeps the blood flowing. The Men are back on Sacred Bones with a new album that’s less dark, foreboding, and more (as Pitchfork put it) Westerberg-ian. Fine be me! It’s been my desire lately to hear more of this - straight forward, well played throwback indie rock sounds, and The Men have pegged me dead bang. Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea, but a must listen for fans of The Replacements, The Fresh & Onlys, and The Wrens (and maybe even a little Rocket from the Crypt).
THE MEN!!!! Leave Home is such an amazing album - I can’t wait to hear their new stuff.
