Weed Hounds drop two more on us here, thanks Weed Hounds. Side A: “Beach Bummed”, this kind of surfs away from their previous output, reverbing around and sounding like your sweetest surf board snapped, your best buddy just got eaten by a shark, and your ice cream melted all over your favourite polo shirt. Melancholy. Bummed doesn’t quite cover the half of it. Actually, maybe this is like if Real Estate found that all their drugs had been stolen and wanted to sound a bit more Dinosaur Jr. Flip it for “Skating Away From the Cops” which guns out of the traps, all faulty fuzz and half asleep vocals, Pohgoh battling it out with Tiger Trap, indie pop that soars and swirls with consummate ease. Sweet song. When are these guys gonna get round to an LP?
