I hear Joy Division. Do you? I hear Sonic Youth as well. I also hear…King Missile…?
I hear…
the 90s.
“Simple as That” is the sound of change.
This whole DIY record is nothing great but it’s also fantastic. I keep coming back to this: The 80s were a time when everything changed and anything went. Get in a studio and bash out something. Get on stage and make some noise. The Sex Pistols proved that musical talent didn’t matter, in fact, it was a detriment to the roots of rock and roll. And Radiohead would soon crystallize the sentiment with “Anyone Can Play Guitar”.
This is the nexus of those sentiments.
I thought this was just the right amount of weirdness and fun.
