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.

Albanian Mob Murder – “Memphi$” b/w “Drugs” 7” (Eastern Watts)

Can a person lose their Ohio privileges? How about a whole band? Albanian Mob Murder takes the low road in trying to sneak into the steam room with whatever magic has been happening in Columbus over the past few years taking the form of caked-on grime and dryer lint, and maybe some pills (but not the good kind, rather the kind you need to prevent catastrophe from happening). This is basic trainhopper country sojourning, driven mad with the lo-fi tendencies they think they should have. We’ve discussed the possibility that crappy, distorted production continues to not be the means to an end; that there’s a band underneath all that, and they’d sound mighty awkward if you took it away. Both tracks here might just disintegrate altogether. No chance for this bunch. (http://www.easternwattsrecords.com)
