Nucular Aminals squeeze a lot onto their new 7'' [IPU137]
''Nobody's Man'' b/w ''Kill Your Dogs'' and ''Garrison+
Phillips/Garrison Phillips.'' This is the rst single released o of
their S/T full-length [KLP233] and it shifts smoothly from surf to
pop to rock and back again. The amount of fun you nd yourself
having while listening to these tracks is equal to at least two
full-length albums, maybe four, but de nitely not ve, that
would be crazy talk. These Portland based Aminals (Robert
Comitz, Erin Schmith, Jheremy Grigsby, and Wiley Hickson) bring
a combination of talents to the mix here that they've gained
from previous musical endeavors. Cormitz has previously played
with Hornet Leg, and Schmith and he are both formerly of San
Francisco's Marriage + Cancer. The band is touring the U.S now in
support of their album and have upcoming dates in Seattle and
Portland.
This PNW band is used to cloudy days and drizzle, but their music
is nothing but blue skies. If general happiness isn't enough for
you, then maybe the promise of dancing will win you over. Put
this little toot of a 7'' on while you're doing some sort of task, and
before you know it your toes will be tapping, shoulders will be
rolling. Hell, you may even nd yourself doing that snapping and
pointing dance that's been made popular by moms and aunties
at wedding receptions. No, no. You'll do far better. I can tell just
by looking at you.
Side A: 1. Nobody's Man
Side B: 2. Kill Your Dogs
3. Garrison + Phillips/Garrison Phillips
