Das Racist - "Relax".

My head keeps telling me that these guys are complete shit, but I can't get enough.

The mixtapes were great, and the world needs more politically and socially aware bands that are funny and not didactic and preachy (Rage Against The Machine make me want to work for a bank, vote Conservative and read the Daily Mail), but the album was a bit disappointing. 'Michael Jackson' is a tune though, you feel me? Holler!

I went all fancy yesterday and bought 'The Cherry Thing' by Nina Cherry and The Thing and 'Kill for Love' by The Chromatics. Both are excellent. I got them on CD because vinyl is a treat and if I'm good with my pennies I might pick up the Gatekeeper LP later this month.

The Cherry Thing is great, squally jazz with Suicide and Stooges covers and it rules. I don't know much about Jazz in all honesty, but this has a bassy, post-punky quality to it that kind of reminds me of Pigbag in places.

I'm one of those posers who got interested in The Chromatics through Drive, but I'm really liking 'Kill for Love'. It's a long album at 90 minutes, but it's good rainy day music. It's like the Blade Runner soundtrack and Disintegration by The Cure had a really melancholy baby.

Bought this too.... and ordered the vinyl.

A real grower.

Second half of the album is particularly great in my opinion.

It's definitely improved with listens. The production of the tracks is a great improvement on a lot of the previous Teargarden stuff, as there isn't cheesy sounding synths everywhere. Nicole Fiorentino's backing vocals are a lovely touch on some songs.

It is probably the most cohesive thing b0lly has done in a long while.

Their last three albums have been mental good. ENEMY OF GOOD, HORDES OF CHAOS, PHANTOM ANTICHRIST. What a wonderful collection of album titles.

They're fucking ace. The singer has the perfect RAAAARRRGGGHGHHHH FUCKING DEMONSSSSS voice and the production is so bloody thick. Their melodies and riffs are just catchy as fuck too. So good I'm almost tempted to buy a t-shirt with mental goblins and skulls on it.
