I didn't mean to try and make direct links between any of the bands, but they all sort of fall along a "lo-fi" continuum. I really enjoy Electric Bunnies, haven't heard much of Hue Blanc's. I'll try and find the Pink Reason records you've mentioned on Soulseek as I'm too poor at the moment to buy limited edition 7"'s of people I'm not quite keen on. Psychedelic Horseshit... I don't know. I guess I'm just not feeling shambolic music right now in general, but I heard their early stuff and it wore thin after a few months. The frontman's batshit insane which is disappointing because I usually look forward to something made by someone out of their mind like he is. Circuit des Yeux turned me off after seeing her open for Drunkdriver back at their legendary Jan 3rd. bloodfest with Mattin. At the end of her set she beat a tom drum aimlessly and yelled out WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN YOU GET OUTTA JAIL? over and over again. Eh. I listened to the record and it didn't do much for me. I might be short-sighted, but I feel like there's so much purposefully lo-fi music cluttering my world right now that I can't be arsed if it's middle-of-the-road.
With that in mind, I'd just like to reiterate that Drunkdriver is my favorite band in the whole world right now with a guitar in it and I'm a total fucking fanboy. Them and Mayyors. Their 12" should be arriving any day now. Really solid stuff.
