Introducing: A Happy Death

EP review: Andrew Lindsay and the Coat Hooks – “The Whittling” EP
(Originally appeared on Tympanogram here.) I normally tend towards more spastic, bombastic, or otherwise -astic music, while I let the quieter stuff just pass me by. It’s not that I fail to hear the beauty of slower, more languid material, … Continue reading

Races – “Big Broom” 7″
(Originally appeared on Tympanogram here.) The A-side of the new 7? from Races, “Big Broom” is quite the introduction. I was instantly gripped by the stunningly expansive sound. They manage to capture something that would normally take a band several … Continue reading
