Reverb lp burger records9/3/2023 ![]() His excellent new video for “ Hive” continues that trend and is likely the last sample we’ll get from Doris before the album drops next month.Įarl brings two of his old buddies along for the ride this time. The tracks released previously, “ Chum” and “ Whoa,” proved Earl’s amazing rhyming talent was still intact and were prime examples of his developing maturity as an artist. Watch the video below and grab your copy of this limited-edition wax while it’s still available.Ĭonnect with Gap Dream via Facebook | TwitterĮarl Sweatshirt’s upcoming album Doris has been one of hip hop’s most anticipated releases ever since the teenage phenom returned from his Samoan exile about a year and a half ago. Today, Burger dropped a video for Gap Dream’s latest single “ Chill Spot.” The track is set for release on 7″ vinyl between a b-side, entitled “Peter’s Brother.” “ Chill Spot” finds Gap Dream delving into more synth-heavy territory, without abandoning the pop hooks that got them this far. ![]() My intrigue grew into a passionate love affair earlier this spring when I watched Gap Dream transform its catchy pop hooks into an aggressive, guitar-heavy live set at Austin’s Hotel Vegas during SXSW. I first became aware of Gap Dream late last year, when ToT favorites the Allah-Las stopped by Red Light Radio and played one of the band’s tracks during a guest DJ set. ![]() The band drenched its melodic pop in reverb and echo in an addictive haze of marijuana-fogged perfection. One criminally under-appreciated Burger release from 2012 was the debut, self-titled LP from Cleveland psych pop fuzzsters Gap Dream. Burger has consistently churned out some of my favorite material from 2013 in Burnt Ones’s You’ll Never Walk Alone and Wyatt Blair’s Banana Cream Dream, among others. The label has since reissued the album, which is currently sitting near the top of the College Radio charts. This sent demand for Burger’s 2008 King Tuff release, Was Dead, soaring. The label cemented itself in the consciousness of the uninitiated in 2012 with the breakthrough success of King Tuff’s self-titled LP on Sub Pop. Urban frustration and paranoia pulse through the songs like blood on the way to a brain hemorrhage.I’m an unabashed adorer of Bay Area psych rock juggernaut Burger Records. Defintly rocks, and yes it got those weird angles you expect from a Load release. One of a seemingly endless bass and drums groups in Providence, they have forged an anti-blues sound that is both harsh and likeable. Look at the live shots from these dirtbags, this ain’t the blues, this is a full frontal attack with butt shaking power. Sure this documents a truly incestuous group of musicians, but this CD will hand you your ass on a platter long after your flavor-of-the-month rock combo goes searching for a new way to “rock out”. Sub fuzz bass, super simple drums, harmonica, and boasting and toasting courtesy of John Von Ryan. Olneyville Sound System – Because We’re All in this TogetherĪ supergroup of sorts. Jon Von Ryan has a solo CD on Load “Organs Vs. Adam Autry plays in Pixeltan (Troubleman). Jacques (bass) is in Landed (Vermiform, Load) as well as having been in Load Records band, thee Hydrogen Terrors. The band on this recording is a three piece:ĭan St. Not soft la-la-la voices, but a bark screaming about hookers on the corner. Drums echo, voices spiral off into the soupy ether. Its got a dub-styled recording with plenty of spring loaded reverb. The sounds coming from your speakers are a freaky collision between avant-hard sounds similar to past offenders like Flipper. Screaming and angry … lustful and confusing … with the booming bass tubes from a wrecked and pimped-out Caddy spitting out rude bearded bass and double-jointed booty drums. Mean, confused, and horny, clogging the intersections and humping fire hydrants. Kinda like the retard bus in a head-on with a pimpmobile full of cocaine. Ugly bass and skull splitting drums broken up by songs of corner prostitutes, foreign language radio, and Burger King freebie toys. Flipper damaged, bass bin-busting badd-assery.
