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.

NEW ADDRESS -- PLEASE SEND MAIL HERE FROM NOW ON
Doug's contact address is as follows:
Doug Mosurock
PO Box 3087
New York, NY 10185-3087

If you were planning on sending vinyl to Dusted, their HQ has moved to Washington, DC. That means that you're delaying your review by directing copies of your release down there. So make sure it goes to the above address.

VVAQRT – Than On Eother And You Have Answers LP (Hot Releases)

Electro-cabaret postpunk, by way of duct-tape masks and spam email verbiage, a weirdness that has been curated rather than grown into. The music of VVAQRT, at least at this point, leads to art school conceptualizing and critical thought about consumerism and the economy, jammed up with binary melodies and flopping around in the digital music box of a female lifeform that is the only kind of its species – highly aware and intelligent, humanoid in nature, but odd and different enough to scare the punters. Further down the rabbit hole than Lene Lovich, the Scissor Girls, maybe even Mens Recovery Project. Strangely listenable though – Ms. VVAQRT definitely has a good grasp on melodies and arrangements. Compelling hi-NRG, lo-tech synth pop. (http://hot-releases.org)
