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.

Tropical Trash – Fear of Suffering 7” EP (Sophomore Lounge)

RECOMMENDED

Boasting one or more members from Sapat, this newish Louisville band makes a striking vinyl debut, with enough enthusiasm and wild, successful ideas to have come out of an earlier era. Several songs on this thing, ranging from skewed, agitated indie rock of both the Polvo and Trumans Water varieties, black metal, jazz (yeah, jazz) and far-flung aggression. The words “weird” and “awesome” come to mind, words I rarely find the occasion to use together anymore. Excellent combination of thrashing energy and solid ideas that break apart and recombine in novel, tuneful ways. The best Sophomore Lounge release to date. 200 copies, white vinyl.
