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.

Crash Normal – Your Body Got A Land LP (Kill Shaman)

French Ty Segall this time around for the entity that puts out records as Crash Normal. The reverb-tolerance levels have increased so much that I can hear it coating each of the public-domain structures in their garage, but I can’t feel it, or more importantly, it doesn’t pull an ounce of concern out of my emotions. It struggles to fill the room. I don’t even think I can muster the energy to get worked up over why this exists in this day and age. What if you dreamt the alarm clock was going off, then dreamt that you got up to hit the ‘snooze’ button, the radio was tuned to a station that only played an amalgam of sounds the programmers referred to as “Hozac: The Last Five Years” and then you woke to find that the alarm wasn’t going off at all? These songs drove me to write that. Unsurprisingly, there’s a dude named “Seb” in this band and an A Frames cover within this selection of tracks. (http://killshaman.com)
