dude... incredible. : the albums, 2014.


24/shellac/dude incredible

there's a fun moment (one of many here) midway through shellac's dude incredible where steve leads the band in a quick call and response singalong:

"Who fears the King? -who fears the king?!...-  'Fuck the King!' -'FUCK THE KING!!!'-..."

yeah, yeah. here comes the surveyors, but shellac can't be bothered. fuck the surveyors, and fuck the confines. let's play. and play they do. and play they will. dude incredible is the sound of three men locked in a space on common ground; drums, guitars, bass -the essentials, chopped and screwed- with slight metal and gothic undertones present underneath. crisp to the nines, with no stick up its ass, dude... incredible.
KEY TRACKS: compliant/riding bikes/all the surveyors

25/swans/to be kind
