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.

Fey Gods – “Untied” b/w “Bury Me Standing” 7” (Hozac)

There must be more than one set of ears governing the Hozac intake/output pipeline. A wildly inconsistent label can be wonderful so long as one extreme is extremely interesting/inspired, and for this particular patch of history, Hozac is like watching several days’ worth of “The Wire” back-to-back with seasons of “According to Jim.” Fey Gods is a haunting, unprecedented mood-setter with the best of ‘em, and a solid representative of the “should” part of home-recording circa-2010’s “just because everyone can, doesn’t mean that everyone should” doctrine. Hey, if a record can sound like 400 discarded reverb units marched up single-file and took a dump on the first three Sisters of Mercy 7”s and still find itself repeatedly spun during pleasure-listening time, it’s the sound of something being done right. 500 copies.
