The Sunglasses s/t 10"

The Sunglasses s/t 10"

The Sunglasses sound has been described as a garage band set on fire. Others say they’re a “deranged Dead Kennedys descendants with broken forms and blurred tones” (Raleigh Independent Weekly). While others call their music “brash and arty post-hardcore” with songs that “swing wildly between noise rock, grunge and drug-damaged pop, with math rock leanings” (Creative Loafing Atlanta).

This self titled 10” barrels through eleven songs that can’t quite be described as frenetic but carry a visceral purge where obtuse sound and doom-laiden rhythms collide. Lyner’s stream-of consciousness rants bleed into the distortion, sanding off any sense of meaning or discernible narrative” (Creative Loafing Atlanta). Stream of consciousness vocals over groovy, yet demented guitar riffs. Let’s just say The Sunglasses are a beautiful wreck.

The sustained discordance of Godflesh mixed with the best Seattle ever had to offer. These kids are too young to remember grunge and thank goodness for that. This not a rehashing of the glory years but instead a creation that builds upon and makes you forget about flannel. This is basements, living rooms, sweaty crowds, beer, weed and a f*ck you all attitude.

There are nine tracks on this 10" recording.
