This boy/girl duo out of Chicago is cranking out some kitchen-sink blues/rhythmic/pop stuff that is gaining some attention in the almighty blogosphere lately. And while I'd say that their freshman effort available on Bandcamp is still pretty rough around the edges, it sounds like a band slowly settling into their skins and crouching down to run an otherworldly race. If this is the stretching period, in other words, then I'd imagine that what's to come should be worth watching out for. The female vocals vary between slightly creepy to boldly aggressive, and the nylon-stringed electric guitar that roils along the background reminds us of a time when college rock didn't require a degree in advanced electronic engineering.
You can download the album here. The songs Bitches, Your Coo Ka Choo, and Monomania (below)* are even eff-ar-ee-ee. Yep, won't ding your cherry Paypal veneer one bit.
And for those of you reading this on your Commodore 64s, you can even order this album on cassette. Technophobes unite!
*Hot yam, I actually figured out how to put a real song on this thing!
