STILL SINGLE

A space for thoughts on music and culture, as written by Doug Mosurock and a select handful of individuals. This is intended as a supplement to our regular feature Still Single, published on Dusted Magazine. Updates will run here more frequently, and may feature writing on music not covered in the column. Compact discs are still not accepted for review -- we have more than enough vinyl and the occasional cassette to worry about.

Our Twitter feed keeps you apprised of reviews as they're published. It's kept locked and private, because with a name like @stillsingle, everyone thinks it's a dating site. Approvals happen whenever they happen.

NEW ADDRESS -- PLEASE SEND MAIL HERE FROM NOW ON
Doug's contact address is as follows:
Doug Mosurock
PO Box 3087
New York, NY 10185-3087

If you were planning on sending vinyl to Dusted, their HQ has moved to Washington, DC. That means that you're delaying your review by directing copies of your release down there. So make sure it goes to the above address.

Womankind – s/t 12” EP (Nominal)

Nominal is keeping the identity of this band somewhat obscured (if you’re not now, you never were, I guess) but it’s safe to say they’re Vancouver dudes who claim this to be their last band. The band isn’t over or anything just yet, so “last” could be a while – and from the strength of this EP, which cherrypicks the toothiest elements from a history of American noise rock starting with the Jesus Lizard and Unsane and ending up with Les Savy Fav and Rye Coalition. There’s appreciable skill and wit in the songs, neither quality upstaging the front-wheel drive of the rhythm section, and the well-rehearsed, tight-til-it’s-loose performance aesthetics really help this one to transcend. 324 copies.
