Actually, it’s more of a self-mashup, or album origami. It’s 5/12 of the album’s songs folded up and blended into a 3:13 Old Bangers puree. The ingredients include: “Raptar Intro”, “Benzedrine Tea”, “Cool Hands”, “Outra Vez”, and “William H. Rehnquist Ain’t Nothin to Fuck With”– all from The Old Bangers’ 2006 album: Title is an Abstraction of Song.

Title is an Abstraction of Song as Song: An Old Bangers Remix

we got some kind words thrown our way this week:

impose says:

I’m sure they’re out there, I just happen to have five dolla, and this is where I will blow it all.

Yesterday, Brando Skirts hit us up with a delightfully eclectic mix of damaged rock songs, more often than not guitar-based, but most of the time weighed against fantastically freaked out vocal loops, or a rolling hill of feedback, horns on the fritz, heaps of dual-melody dissonance, found sound city Frequencies, vocal harmony. It almost feels like a throw-back to an earlier time when bros made dissonant post-punk and Sonic Youth reigned as the one and only right way. 2003? Maybe just 2010, this stuff is great.

the fmly says:

Brando Skirts are writing that messy, fucked up, and wildly intriguing sound that changes color with every play. I just downloaded their first record, Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo, for free over at Proyekto Records and it’s definitely conjuring up those early anticon. feelings. Maybe it’s the gross weather right now, but these tunes are laying over me like a mud bath. It’s difficult to distinguish where one sound ends and the other begins, but it feels damn nice. Stoked for the record to grow on me…but I should probably take a shower first before stems start sprouting.

thanks, dudes! reminder: you can download that first record ovah huur.

2010, hello and welcome.

here is a new track off our forthcoming full-length. we had many requirements – one of which was to write a love song. this is it. download the thing or stream below. most of all, enjoy!

Chinatown Daze

The west coast branch of the collective (me and sndrft eeoo) headed out to Oakland a few weeks ago for the 2009 Skronkathon BBQ at 21 Grand in Oakland. It was an “all-day marathon music and BBQ extravaganza” filled with an extremely eclectic list of performers. Traffic, confusion, impostors, malfunctioning software, potluck chili and a strangely hypnotic, clawed, goth, drone singer (myspace warning!) made for an enjoyably absurd experience.
