I've false-started this thread a couple times now. I like this album so much, but I can't really think of anyone that I'd recommend it to other than James D & (maybe) Bruegel, and James don't come around much anymore. It\\\'s a really brash & hilarious metal(ish) album that sounds like the bastard of DEP, The Jesus Lizard, Minus the Bear, and a traveling dime & nickel carnival. It's short - < 28 mins - and the guitarist left the band (according to wikipedia!) to start Fang Island, another band I like that I know some people do not. It isn't very screamy, its brimful of grooves, and the last track is a harvey wallbanger of a motherfucker. I don't really know what I'm trying to say here, but this is great and I've listened to it a bunch in the last 48 hrs.

This is a good one, alright. Daughters' best album to date, for sure.

just heard this earlier today, it's pretty kickass

I liked it.

If it sounds anything like Botch I'll probably dig it.

Will report back with findings.

This one is similar to Botch in that their outlook on music is pretty similar (i.e. experimental yet groovy) but they have v. different sounds.

Great band. "The Hit" is one of their best ever songs IMO. Even trumps a lot of the stuff on Hell Songs which people should definitely check out if they're enjoying this.


Unfortunately these guys don't really tour a lot b/c the singer is a recluse and hates doing shows. I hope I get to see them perform this new material.

I listened to Hell Songs last night. Great songs, kinda shitty production, especially on the drums.

Great album/band

I really should dig out Canada Songs again. That album's nuts.

I just downloaded and have only listened to the first two tracks thus far. So far, they sorta remind me of These Arms Are Snakes from Seattle. Long squealing guitar patterns with heavy-groove oriented bass-drums patterns. I'm digging it so far.

Hey thanks for the rec on this, I just finished it and I really enjoyed it. Love the tambourine work placed sparsely throughout.

yeah, I was gonna mention the tambourine work. finest in the genre, afaik.

Haha, wait 'til you hear the tambourine on the new Nachtmystium.

looking forward to it. been on a real hand percussion kick lately. know any good metal w/ finger cymbals?

This is a good album.

Scratch that. This is a very good album.

That's a good point, I should've thought of you. I know you dig metal and gay music and this is basically those two combined.

np: "Way U Make Me Feel"

Yeah so I really fucking dig this, I'm glad it took my hurt feelings over a non-mention in order to get me to finally listen.

I've had the closer on repeat several different times now.

"The Theatre Goer" has been my jam for about a week straight now.

Easily one of my favorite bands. Their entire catalog is amazing. Sucks the bands pretty much done now. At least they went out with a bang.

Paul wears a hat of fire. He says it's not so bad if you can stand the smell of burning hair.
Paul Wear's a hat of fire. He has so much love to give. But no one will get close to him.
Paul wears a hat of fire. He says. "It's a lonely life when no one will shake your hand."
Paul wears a hat of fire. He told me he doesn't see a point to going out anymore.

His mother tried to teach him right from wrong. Still, he wont take it off.

Paul wears a hat of fire. He knows you and your friends are talking about him when he's not around.
Paul wears a hat of fire. He doesnt think you have any right to question his motivation.
Paul wears a hat of fire. He knows you wont be happy until he's lying dead in the street.
Paul wears a hat of fire. Now he is all but naked with a handgun on your front lawn.

Noisy and skronky as fuck. Kind of reminds me a little bit of Melt Banana/ Hot Snakes, with Scratch Acid and Butthole Surfers moments. DEP not a bad RIYL either.

Doesn't do a lot for me, honestly, but I can dig what they're doing. You could say I appreciate this record.

Melt Banana + Scratch Acid = this is better than spot-on, now that you mention it.
