Album Review: WHIMM ‘A Stare Ajar’
“This is a trio dwelling on the sharp, atonal edge of post-punk”
“This is a trio dwelling on the sharp, atonal edge of post-punk”
“Melkbelly is hard to pin down; their songs flaunt a flagrant disregard for what many would consider indie rock or punk or post-punk.”
“The first two songs on ‘Naturality’ prove O.R.B.’s members have clearly got the chops to do something different with their doom-inspired template.”
“Perhaps ‘Plum’ represents the incarnation of what Wand fans didn’t know they were looking for until they heard it.”
“As Segall’s self-assurance increased, so did his funny banter.”
“The transformation of 1980s synth pop from a frequently mocked fad into a respectable modern genre has been glorious to behold.”
“Anyone who claims that most new music is terrible probably isn’t trying hard enough.”
“It’s less macho than stoner rock, but more elegant than garage punk.”
“INVSN may not make the music that flawed people deserve, but it’s definitely the music that we all need right now.”
“There are few things more frustrating to a music critic than wanting desperately to love an album but never quite getting there.”
