Woof Woof
The songs often feel too short, but when it’s good it’s fantastic. Pure Guava if it was more earnest and upset with life and less goofy, but still goofy. Love that t/t.
3.5/5 | | 2 |  | Sonic Youth
Washing Machine
Their 3rd best I’ve heard. Only behind Sister and Daydream Nation (and I’ve heard from the debut EP up to this sooo.) “Junkie’s Promise” grew on me and the t/t and “Panty Lies” are some of their best work.
4.5/5 | | 3 |  | Bird's Eye Batang
Flood Format
Some cool ideas here, but very little of this is what I wanted from Mid-Air Thief. All flash no substance. And not enough vocals.
2.5/5 | | 4 |  | David Bowie
Outside
Probably his most self-indulgent release. Clearly inspired by his work with Twin Peaks, but not nearly as interesting. His industrial ideas are whatever. “The Motel” and “Hallo Spaceboy” rule though.
3/5 | | 5 |  | The Smile
A Light For Attracting Attention
Thom and Johnny knew these songs weren’t good enough for a real Radiohead album. No, not even your favorite.
2.5/5 | | 6 |  | Funkadelic
One Nation Under a Groove
As good as it’s reputation says it is. Somehow better than Maggot Brain. “Doo Doo Chasers” is an epic masterpiece and man is “Groovalegience” fun. Fried ice cream IS a reality.
5/5 | | 7 |  | Os Mutantes
Jardim Elétrico
Worst of the 4 I’ve heard, but still wonderful, especially “Top Top” and “Portugal de Navio.” It’s more Beatles and less Barrett though than their previous work.
3.5/5 | | 8 |  | Broadcast
Tender Buttons
Video game-ish and catchy. Why isn’t this band tagged psychedelic? I guess I like The Noise Made by People more, but this still rules. Best on here is probably “Corporeal” or “America’s Boy.”

06.01.22 | ars have you heard this heat - deceit?
| WeepingBanana
06.01.22 | This is a chance to dance your way out of your ~constrictions~~~~~~~ | ArsMoriendi
06.01.22 | Not yet Mort, though I did hear a song from that EP recently I thought was cool, maybe I’ll finally check ‘em out. | theBoneyKing
06.01.22 | Still haven’t gotten around to 3. It’s short so I should just throw it on.
Is 8 worth a try if I didn’t particularly like The Noise Made By People? | ArsMoriendi
06.01.22 | Depends, do you like Crystal Castles? It’s like a weird midpoint between that and The Noise Made By People | YoYoMancuso
06.01.22 | 2 is sick, you're gonna love the albums they did with Jim O'Rourke | theBoneyKing
06.03.22 | Ars should check Drag City O’Rourke
Also I haven’t heard Crystal Castles Ars. | JohnnyoftheWell
06.03.22 | Crystal Castles were v great at their best, but 8 is neither as fun nor really the same appeal at all outside of some of its tone choices | ArsMoriendi
06.03.22 | Not into Alice Glass's their squealy vocals, but the music seems cool |
