3 recs spinnin' 'n' spinnin'



Fu Manchu: "California Crossing"

I've had this one boiling for more than one spin the last weeks. It's a great record and I don't really get the criticism about this - and never did! There's some cool hits and a really nice surf 'n' summer feel about the whole thing. Put it on repeat and just relax with these nice dudes.

The Spores: "Doom Pop"
Well, this is for sure something else than expected. It's Molly McGuire whom I only knew from Mondo Generator. The music is kind of intriguing and pretty hypnotic in some way. There's a lot of interesting stuff going on at this record, but I'm not really sure that I dig it for sure. Ask me again in three month ...

White Hills: "Glitter Glamour Atrocity"
Their latest record "Heads on Fire" blew me away so I had to get this one too. And it's maybe even better! I really think that GGA is a more varied and less full-trottle-space-rockish. I seldom agree with Pitchfork when it comes to psyched out stuff like Warlocks - and I now also disagree about White Hills!
