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.

Scraps – Classic Shits 2006-2009 LP (Bedroom Suck)

Cabaret Casio tunes from Brisbane’s Laura Hill, and kind of a far cry from the other Bedroom Suck releases thus far (Kitchen’s Floor, Blank Realm, Per Purpose, Slug Guts). The sounds coming off of Classic Shits may be digital and fragile, but the sentiment behind them surely isn’t, Ms. Hill pushing a very personal-sounding, confident, exploratory agenda into real human feelings, propped up against secondhand consumer electronics and the dingy shine they so often produce. The songcraft and lyricism here connects the invisible dots between the Marine Girls, Danielle Dax, Gilmore Tamny and Suckdog, a four sided shape stretching to the beat with a believable vulnerability and dreamlike stature. It’s a good one, a record that defies classic sensibilities, and showcases an artist well in control of her own expressive tendencies. (http://www.bedroomsuckrecords.com)
