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.

Gold-Bears/Bracelettes – split 7” EP (Oddbox)

Shoegaze/twee split from a singles subscription series out of England (other participants include the Ketamines). Gold-Bears have two noisy pop songs, kind of like Superchunk but with a much bigger, more manicured guitar tone. These songs are decent, and “Bedroom” ends with the mastering engineer pushing the levels on the track so far up that it knocks the needle out of the groove. Bracelettes are a too-cute girl group sounding affair, but they manage to commit the minorly annoying, majorly catchy taunt “You Make Me Laugh” in my head. 400 numbered copies.
