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.

Pregnant – Regional Music LP (Life’s Blood)

One Daniel Trudeau, of Placerville, CA, lets us know what’s up in his mind on this, apparently the fourth full-length as Pregnant. Don’t get it confused with the Brooklyn punk band of the same name we reviewed a few months back – this is a solo project of sample-based, oddball pop, where hyphy meets GarageBand, presumably. Loops of decadent world music collide with pop guitar hooks, hip-hop flavored beats, reedy, high-register male vocals and a good enough sense of arrangement to bring the proceedings above mere collage work into something personal and sincere. Not gonna appeal to everyone, but those who are attuned to the way kids have been operating lately (think Ponytail, early Animal Collective and that sort of exuberance) should be delighted to find what lies inside. 500 copies, “big bird” yellow marble vinyl, and side A plays from the inside out.
