It’s good to have The Gotobeds back. Guitars, feedback, noise: glad to hear ‘em. The band’s two-album stint on Sub Pop wrapped up over six years ago, with 2019’s Debt Begins at 30, and, uh, the world has seen some shit since then.
They sat out the whole Biden administration — honestly, kind of a smart move. But America is done with its latest half-hearted attempt to maybe just barely try to hide how dumb and evil it can be, which makes a new Gotobeds record even more welcome than usual. The good stuff is needed now more than ever, and Masterclass is about as good as it can get.
Cutting corners and putting it plainly: Masterclass (and the Gotobeds as a whole) sounds like what people meant when they talked…
