Imagine being in a coma in 2014 and then waking from it today. The world you arrive in is inarguably not the same one you left. Things are darker, dirtier. The pandemic and global political instability has left the cultural landscape a belligerent, maladjusted wasteland.
Good news, though: that scuzzy garage punk duo from Oxford, Mississippi you were really into has a new album out, appropriately titled Six. They sound just like you remember, too, all fast and low-slung guitar riffs and brutal pounding drums. It’s the audio equivalent of having the time of your life at the dive bar on the corner. Sure, they might not be as fast and fierce as they were in the beginning, but it’s been 11 years, and everyone grows older eventually.
