SSR 024 The Nein / Cantwell Gomez & Jordan split 7" $4 PPD |
|
|
Durham, NC's The Nein join forces with Chapel Hill favorites, Cantwell Gomez & Jordan to produce this summer's most improbable dance party classic. The Nein's "Auto-Destructive Dance Routine" smashes angular post-punk against a noisy clatter of found sounds. Cantwell Gomez & Jordan meld harrowing vocals and spazzy instrumentation into a delicious and toe-tapping slice of noisy exuberance. |

SSR 019 Sorry About Dresden / Cold Sides split 7" $4 PPD |
|
|
Evidence that Brooklyn has
no monopoly on white-hot. Two of Chapel Hill's most inventive bands split
a side of wax on what may become one of the best singles you've heard all
year. The Cold Sides, "Dashiki Ra!" channel early 80's post-punk sensibilities
through a frenzy of angular guitars that may very well stir up spontaneous
dance parties among fans and newcomers alike. Sorry About Dresden's "Leviathan"
offers what may be the only synth-heavy, new wave treat to cite Thomas Hobbes
in the title line while still providing ample opportunity for moving your
feet. |

SSR 008 Rodeo Boy / The Godrays Excuse Me Do You Know What Time It Is? split 7" $4 PPD |
|
|
By employing super-advanced
scientific theory, The Godrays and Rodeo Boy have switched out and redesigned
their original material for a triumph of 21st century technology! Or, you
could just say they cover the other's songs. Whatever works for you. The
Godrays follow up their own "Kick It Around" with a moody refiguring of
Rodeo Boy's "Thrifty Heart Song." Rodeo Boy responds with their "Another
Chorus Comes" punctuated with a raunchy interpretation of the Godray's instant
classic, "Vampires Suck." |

SSR 007 Analogue / Cruise Control Pills split 7" $4 PPD
|
|
|
Analogue's synth melodies
soar over an intricate, instrumental backdrop of agile musicianship. Cruise
Control Pills offer the airy, uptempo pop gem that is "Burned by the Sun."
Together, they provide fitting soundtrack to a Sunday drive in your flying
car, or capably simulate what that might feel like for those unfortunate
enough to still be bound by gravity. |
