Alexei Shishkin – Ode To Carl Dennis

Out Now Via Rue Defense 

A great one to get your slouch on catching up with a friend over a beer. Play this at my wake. 

 

The Noisy – Grenadine 

A song that reminds us of nights that start at 3am with someone tapping on your window (that’s not trying to kill you) with their car idling down the block, because your parents are immigrants and they would literally kill you rather than letting you have one adventure at an unsociable hour, if they heard the engine block sputtering away because everyone you know drives a piece of shit and is one too.
