Does anyone remember Shellac?

Future of the Left
The Peace & Truce of Future Of The Left
Feature Track: 50 Days Before The Hun
Keep Listening: Proper Music
Rating: 4

Danielson, Nirvana/Shellac, Beck (Back when everybody loved him). A mix of nonsense and coherent political leanings outlined with a deep-hued mascara of flippant pageantry. Not for the casual music tourist. Venture into this area only if you know what you are doing.

Track 2 - Dirty Birds

Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds
Fowl Play
Rating: 5

They may use word play in their title and lyrics, but there is no slack in the opening track, Freight Train. Complete with punny and funky sax break. This record will require no introduction. Unless you hate backbeats out of principal, or have some other disdain for horn refrains, this will be an instant favorite.
