It was a quiet night... I believe an unearthly materializing of liquid water from thin air had people on edge. Elsewhere, the phenomenon is so common it has its own word -- "rain" -- but here in the Grand Valley, it's so rare as to trigger suspicions of alien interference, chemtrails, or bitcoin market manipulation. Sometimes all three.
Some very young Canadians show plenty of promos with this pleasantly bratty set of indie guitar rock.
The band returns with more of their particular brand of folksy psychedelia. Lots of great hooks and harmonies, as usual.
They're all over the place, but that's what I like about Post Animal. "Dirtpicker" owes much to the Jesus Lizard, especially in its title.
