Music, musings and miscellanea

L.A. lo-fi/fuzz-punk/shitgaze/whatever-you-want-to-call-them duo No Age have a new EP coming out on Sub Pop this October called Losing Feeling. But if October seems like just too long of a wait, Sub Pop is streaming the whole damn thing over on their website right now. And for those posterity minded folks, you can download closing track “You’re a Target” from the band’s blog.

Though hardly breaking the bank in the studio, “You’re a Target” continues to strip back the shambolic feel that so typified the band’s earlier work in place of a slightly more ethereal shoegaze vibe. Thankfully, along with this newfound interest in having the various noises they record distinguishable from one another, the pair are really coming into their own as song writers.

Download No Age’s “You’re A Target” here.

The second edition is coming at you with speed, gumption and awesomosity.

I tried to mix up the genres a bit this time. I also prattled on quite a bit more (as was suggested by a few people) so sorry if that’s annoying to you. I promise I’ll actually prepare next time.
