Elimaxxx Rotting in Unison cassette
One-person-band from Utah specializing in shambolic indie garage punk. Earnestness and charm go a long way on this twelve-track tape of tinny guitar and drum machine beats. The vocals register somewhere between a manic JONATHAN RICHMAN and Hutch from the THERMALS, and the songs touch on all sorts of relatable modern ills, like working for Amazon on the standout “Bezos Bop,” inequality on “Lunch Debt,” and pollution on “Yellow Air Day.” There is nothing particularly sophisticated here, but sometimes it’s refreshing to just hear someone pick up their guitar and go for it.
