The Muggabears - Night Choreography

While this was released back in April of last year, I only happened to receive this in the mail a few days ago. So yeah, I am a bit late to the game and it would appear that a few blogs out there have already had some nice things to say about it. However, after listening to Night Choreography from the Brooklyn trio The Muggabears a few times through now it’s definitely worthy of throwing up here and helping further saturate the blogging world with their tunes.

I won’t lie, this EP plays right into my tastes and my gigantic weak spot for all things 90’s indie-rock. The Muggabears on Night Choreography weave, swerve, and tumble their way through seven very solid songs that harkens back to some of the best of 90’s deconstructed/experimental indie-rock. I imagine you could throw out any number of names here and someone could find a piece of it within the The Muggabears sound, and that’s in no way meant to take away from the bands originality. I mean, the more things I can pick out the better it has to be in my opinion and to be able to wrap it into such a finely tuned and highly rocking package definitely leaves lasting positive impression. The crashing swells of distortion featured in songs like “Dead Kid Kicks” and “Now I’ve Got a Sword” are more than enough to hook me in every single freaking time. For those out there like me that love oddly tuned fuzz filled guitars then don’t wait to pick this up.
