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.

Infinity People – In Love With the Light 2xLP (UFO Factory/Burger/Cass/X!/Italy/Life Like)

Wow, this one must’ve hurt coming out, huh? Six labels? Don’t even know where to go with that low-hanging fruit of a joke. There isn’t anything short about In Love With the Light, except this review. Some known-within-city-limits types from Detroit got Warn Defever wrapped up in their motor-city version of a faux-Father Yod hippie dream-team and recorded four sides of Godspell/Rocky Horror rehearsal, crammed into a tight jar with someone’s appropriation of mid-‘70s Judas Priest. It’s hard to fuck up mid-‘70s Judas Priest, but this record is surely a one-way ticket to said dead end. Also contains the main dude in former Jack White-associated band, The Go, along with three hundred other people. This is a band that exists so that people can say they are in it. Unlike similar concerns like Polyphonic Spree, this one isn’t going to spit out a St. Vincent any time soon, and that’s neither a dig nor a direct order … it just is … isn’t. On black vinyl. In time, Infinity People have released another 2xLP that might confuse folks away from this one, but caring as a pre-requisite for confusion often requires care. Therein lies the ruuuuuuuub.
