Yes I am aware that I am probably the millionth person to blog about last year's Crazy Spirit 7". (I promise I didn't find them on icoulddietomorrow, I try not to re-post all their content, even though I did steal their download link.) As of now, the 7" inch is all they've released, which has everyone panting in anticipation for new releases (yes, as well as being great musicians, the members of Crazy Spirit are masters in the art of giving their fans a terrible case of blueballs, thus perpetuating their own mysterious existence.)
This 6-track gem packs a punch of pure, unadulterated garage punk. The vocals are stretched out thin, acidic, and entirely unlike the cool, monotone post-punk bands I've written about in the past couple of days (i.e APTBS and PRF.) This releases deals out screeching, wailing, epileptic fits, and concludes within 10 minutes, leaving the listener in a frustrated, "what the fuck do I do now, I need more" state. And that's what makes CS so fantastic.
Best ten minutes you'll spend today hating everything and everyone:
been listening to this for a while, didn't know what all the hype was about but it clicked today while listening to burning churches. standout track.
ReplyDeletestill perhaps a little overhyped i dunno, post more sick stuff!
Yeah I think we need to see how they do when they release something else. It's not that hard to put out an awesome 7", it's following it up with a full album that's tricky.
