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.

Tooth Ache – “Skin” b/w “Lazarus” 7” (Father/Daughter)

So this just so happened to be the next 7” spinning after Super Wild Horsemen of the Culturapocalypse had me planning to climb the nearest water tower with a high-powered rifle. Tooth Ache (a/k/a Alexandria Hall) is the rare instance when the gears turn in the increasingly populist underground and out spits a modern day rarity. Hall plays sea-sick keyboards and sings like a tiny whale, two things which would have me cold walking away mid-sentence from someone trying to explain the merits in conversation, but this is special in the way that Piano Magic and Pram are no longer special. I sometimes lack the ear needed to officially differentiate between a laptop and analogue equipment, but those nit-picky worries are erased by the mood this girl nails without effort. Not for everyone, but then again, what worthy piece of expression is? 400 copies. (http://fatherdaughterrecords.bigcartel.com)
