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.

Pangea – Killer Dreams 7” EP (Lauren/Ghostbot)

The unfortunate single by a band that has 10% good ideas and 10% decent inspiration, yet goes all wrong for the rest of it. Caterwauling crust-folkie vocals beg for a shoe or tin can to be thrown at them, until that brief verse when dude sounds like Chris D. in the Flesh Eaters and you’re all “why wasn’t he doing this the whole time?” Music is of little consequence – punk, trying to be something more, reaching towards that whole unfortunate bike-punk/Against Me! side of the swimmin’ hole – kinda like the area of Barton Springs past the fence, where people bring boa constrictors out and skids wash their dogs and drink downstream. Not the record you reach for every day; I for one won’t be touching this again. (http://ghostbotrecords.bigcartel.com)
