Double Morris Best of the
Hightone Years [CS; Pilgrim Talk]
Instantly
impressive is the post-Sebadoh, no-fi, NZ-influenced Double Morris
project. They’re transmitting Best of the Hightone Years through a
toilet-paper tube, so you have to listen like a motherfucker before you
even realize the lyrics are still, in fact, unintelligible. Doesn’t
matter. A lot of drama baked into these indie brownie bites/bread
bowls, and a lot of indifference, too. Why is that so goddamn
attractive to the ear? This fuckin’ simp sounds totally emasculated and
even emaciated, yet it makes perfect sense to the warped mind. Probably
drools on the mic, too. Tracey Trance should check this out if he
hasn’t already. The riffs are piledriver-simple, save a few delightful
examples, the noisy sections scrape by satisfactorily, and the songs
jerk to a halt like the snap of a turkey neck before you effin’ know
what hit you. It’s like listening to The Germs, Pumice, and good ol’
D.J. wrapped into one, though obviously Double Morris still have a ton
of work to do. There’s a few instrumentals on here that veer away from
that premise entirely, however, so don’t expect a quick walk-through.
Not what you’d expect from Pilgrim Talk, and thus is an even more
impressive find for this busy imprint.
