This band is Lydia Lunch style groundbreaking. Post Punk brought to the next level. Some of the best lyrics I’ve ever heard. It feels like they planted a beautiful bomb inside me. I want to make more art. I want to write more songs. What if Wire wasn’t an older band everyone references? This is giving me fucking feminist art fire fire fire. I LOVE.

Seriously. Here I am back on my Brecht biz--but what other band is dropping bombs from incredible lesser-know Brecht-Weill operatic collab "The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny" in the middle of their debut?? Get it Jim. I loved the Doors as a kid, forgot about them and got into Foxygen, and am now back in Doors town. "Light my fire" yeah yeah yeah... The Crystal Ship--End of the Night--unhinged Brecht banger Alabama Song??? I'm into a lot of things, but this I'm *into* 😮💨

I just came across this album today and listened to it all the way through. I apparently had one song saved from it (I have a bad habit of saving songs I like that I come across but forgetting to listen to the whole album) and really liked the song yet again lol. However, the entire album start to finish really blew me away. The best way I can describe it is like punkish math folk. I think that if you like mannequin pussy you would like this album a lot. I just have to gush about it because I really really loved it. Also the band name is so clever lol

*Highlight Tracks: “63 skies”/“eight ball”/“sex benefits.5”
*Genre: Shoe-gaze/Noise Rock/Drum and Bass
*One of my favorite live albums. It offers a rawer take on some Tagabow songs, and these live versions often feel lot moodier (in the best way possible). It also includes the delightful electronic interludes featured in between songs during their live sets. This record just really displays They are Gutting a Body of Water’s excellence and further solidifies them as one of the most interesting shoe-gaze acts today.
*“63 skies” pummels you into the ground and leaves your chest caved in…I love it so much.

I would say this is super listenable Political Punk, but I hate the idea that great bands with normal ideas like equality for everyone are “political” when really it’s everyone else who is being boring as hell while upholding the status quo. Lambrini Girls are way too musically wild and way too fun to be tied down to all these words anyways. Even better lyrics than Idles and I really like Idles. I know it’s not a competition but if it was….Take a deep dive into their interviews on YOUTUBE. You will not regret it.

This ten song record from 2023 is already an underground classic. Is it surfy new wave punk? Punky Disco? Whatever it is IT’S FUCKING GREAT. Lira Mondal is the vocalist I want to hear everyday singing every song. The obvious musical comparison might be Pylon, but there’s also a poppy Romeo Void vibe that I’m fully addicted to. The best record of this year and it came out last year! hahaha!

I just started reading this collection of essays and am absolutely hooked. LaPointe’s writing is so incredibly fresh and relatable whether she’s talking about international politics or bad TV. When her Father says “ There are no Native Americans on America’s Next Top Model” and she responds “Just moments before I had been angry about the male gaze, about objectification. I stood silent, jaw agape as he continued, They don’t think to include us because they don’t remember us, They don’t even know we exist.” Heartbreak and humor exists on almost every page I’ve read so far and I wake up everyday excited to read more.
