GIMME TINNITUS

So, the scuzz pop/surf/grunge outfit know as Night Manager have a brand new 7″ coming out shortly via Fire Talk Records. Here is the A side, which to me sounds like the start of summer. Listen.

Downloadable: Pizza Pasta (mp3)

The 7″ looks something like this:

I am just writing to remind you all that the new postpostpunknoguitaronlybass Double Dagger album is now available (here and here for example). More is just as amazing as their last effort, but this time there is more of a wallofsoundthing going on. This is an album that requires the volume be turned up. This is an album that requires you to lose your shit. Right along with Power Move, Dim Light, I Blame You, and We Be Xuxa has been filed under the category “Best Of 2009″ in the back of my head.

Perhaps you need more convincing of this new album’s awesomeness?

UPDATE…

(Formerly) Downloadable: We Are The Ones (mp3 removed per label’s request)

Stream a live version of “We Are The Ones” for the time being at the Double Dagger myspace.

Download a whole concert (including “We Are The Ones”) @ Aural States.

…END UPDATE

Upcoming Show: 5/23/09 @ Market Hotel with The So-So Glos, Screaming Females, Video Hippos, and Air Waves

>> UK indiepoppers Bear Hands stopped by Daytrotter a while back. Listen to the results… here. Speaking of indiepop, New Zealand’s own Cut Off Your Hands also stopped by Daytrotter. Their session is here.
