Only have time for a quick update, so I apologize in advance for that. I’ll be back in the swing of things here shortly. I should also have the BOAWS top 20 to unveil soon. I noticed that their starting to pop up here and there on other sites, so I need to get my ass in gear and get that done. Like I might of have mentioned in an earlier post however, I just can't seem to bring myself to decide on a cutoff point and be content with the amount of material I've managed to hear.

Anyway, I ran across this EP today by the Dutch group Boutros Bubba and it caught my attention. They have just released their first batch of material in the form of an EP called Hearing Voicst in a Beer Commercial Makes Me Wanna Get Drunk. The release is four songs of noisy garage tinged rock with a bit of a mathy side to it. According to their bio, a couple members of the group used to be in the math rock band Quarles Van Ufford, so for it to be carried over into this project probably isn’t any accident I am sure. Regardless, the EP is fantastic and has been put out on the net label Narrominded, which offers up a number of their releases for free download, which includes artwork and all that nice stuff. The label has been offering up mostly electronic related releases up until ’05 and has only recently started putting out avant-rock related releases. Judging by this EP, I’d say they have a pretty good ear for quality music. I look forward to hearing what else the label puts out, electronic or not.
