Sisters – Sisters LP
Just picked this up a couple or so weeks ago and have been enjoying the tunes included within courtesy of the Olympia, WA based band Sisters. Despite coming out through the Parts Unknown label late last year I haven’t seen a whole about this record, I guess maybe it’s a bit too much of a throwback for some? Who knows? Either way, I am digging it and anything that manages to successfully channel the likes of Yo La Tengo, Sonic Youth, and My Bloody Valentine to create this sort of raucous lo-fi mess is absolutely fine by me. The band effortlessly mixes up tempos quite nice with tunes that range from garage punk intensity and bite to the wonderful psych inspired slow burn featured on the albums final track “Caspian Term”. All of which are continually wrapped in a fair amount of needle tapping distortion. Give it a listen if you will.
Sisters – Fire Escape [MP3]
For those interested in picking up the self-titled record from Sisters, then it can be had over at Parts Unknown. It’s worth it.
