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.

Destination Lonely – Kiss or Kicks LP (Les Disques Steak)

Well-heeled, well-presented French garage rockers, peering into the abyss and sensing the abyss peering back. This stuff is pretty good, certainly along the energy level of the Hives of whatnot, with the kind of vocals that reach back to Radio Birdman or Fun Things kinda raw-throated action. Six songs here, and they certainly kick up the dustcloud to a proper thickness, even on songs like “I’m Down” (not the Beatles’ version), which slides between hoochie-mama strut and furious pedal stomp. Lotta twang on here too. Good stuff, always nice to hear one of these bands take an obviously classic thing and give it the treatment it deserves. (http://disquessteak.bigcartel.com)
