Part Chimp - I Am Come

Get past the terrible(?) cover art. Words to describe this album? Sludgy, heavy, droning, chugging....imagine if My War era Black Flag (minus Rollins) smoked a lot of weed and covered Sonic Youth's Dirty. Distortion heavy, blown out, fucked up.

Squirrel Bait - S/T

A Mid-80s Louisville band whose members would go on to be in, among other things, Slint, The Lemonheads, and Bastro. This is their first release. I get a HUGE Replacements and Husker Du vibe off of this and that's definitely not a bad thing.

Imadethismistake - Tomorrow, We Start New

Really sincere folk from a dude named Kylewilliam. Unlike his later stuff - though I guess I only have one other album so I don't know if it changed for good - this is less folk PUNK and more FOLK punk. Strings, woodwinds, pianos, attractive female vocals, the works. Vocals are pretty unique too, they're sort of like...spoken word? A little weird at first, for me, but I got used to it. I guess he re-did this album and re-released it this year, don't know how it turned out. But this is really, really good.

Super sloppy punk rock featuring members of !!! and Out Hud. Dig it.

Frog Eyes - The Bloody Hand

Beautiful in the confusion and the chaos. So much emotion contained in hard to follow lyrics. A goddamn classic, one of my favorite albums.
