GIMME TINNITUS

What happens when you mix together Dirty on Purpose and Au Revoir Simone? You get Pursesnatchers. Doug Marvin of Dirty on Purpose and his wife Annie Hart of Au Revoir Simone home-recorded the album To Feet of Snow. They then recruited their friends Jared Barron and Harold Liu to round out the lineup and started playing out.

The band is set to release its first album as a full band, A Pattern Language via the Uninhabitable Mansion collective on July 19. Prepare yourself for analog fuzziness. Listen.

Downloadable: Baseball on the Radio (mp3) (as seen)

Also posted is this whopper… Mr. Spunt’s record label, “Post Present Medium was bankrolled by a settlement that Dean received when his car was hit by a member of the Backstreet Boys.” Hmmmm, is this proof of cosmic justice or just a funny rumor? I don’t know.
