Thys N Mash
Coming up for air from beneath the suffocated AM transmissions of Ariel Pink, Haunted Graffiti guitarist Cole Train’s solo works with The Samps gleam with infinite sonic clarity. After the mighty ‘TrainCUMMINGS a Litl More’ was cast with such ruvid ease, ‘Mashed Skins’ and ‘Magnetic Thys’ hurtle us on to the secret level at odyssey’s end, replenished to full health and triple gunning for boss blood; flooding out to explore every avenue your ears are unwilling to offer up with the erraticism of the later, greater Jay Dee and the low-slung gambol of Flying Lotus. Such comparisons offer nothing in the way of clues - why depend on words plucked from wet air when you can just press play and let the weekend’s collisions begin.

I like this blog! I hope it isn’t dead.
No death, just a slight winter hibernation.
Plus we’re trying to get our webstore sorted.
We are the undead.
