You're leading me on
Come alive and run amuck
You marvel around sugar gal
Verona Lung corrode my tongue and be on my side babe
Ontario's The Dirty Nil have another rockin' garage hit with their recently released collection of their earlier singles and EPs, Minimum R&B. It's got a bit more rough edges than last year's Higher Power, but in this case, that's a great thing.

remain totally in control of the things you spew
releasing totally unconsciously
feel the shame you spew
recently i swam in a river
made of my own waste
i saved it for just this occasion
i was sent to relay the message
allow me to repeat
i was sent to relay the message
and the message is this
i was to relay this message
allow me to repeat
Loose Tooth is a garage outfit from Philly, and their latest release Big Day is a lot of fun. It's catchy in a bit of a challenging way that's really satisfying. They remind me a lot of early Built To Spill, and I think that's saying something--There's Nothing Wrong with Love is one of my all-time favorite albums. It was a bit hard to choose a song to share with y'all, so check out "Garlic Soup" and if you like it, give the full album a spin.
RIYL: Car Seat Headrest, Built To Spill, Pile, Two Inch Astronaut
I found no meaning listening to these fools
All this work just gonna make me dull
That's why
Wasting my time
Listening to Amy
At least she's right
The first time I heard "That's Why" by Junior Astronomers I thought it was a track from an old Cribs album. Seriously. So it was a bit of a surprise to find out that it's a new track from a band from North Carolina. They've got a few EPs, a few singles, and a previous record, 2013's Dead Nostalgia, which is quite good. Lots of raw, old-timey (heh) indie rock edge whilst still being abundantly approachable. It's good stuff. I'm looking forward to hearing a bit more from them when their new album drops later on this spring.
RIYL: The Cribs, Manchester Orchestra, Cloud Nothings, The Libertines
