'Jangling miserabilism' . Not my words, but those of the Jangle Pop Hub site to describe the music of young Austrian band Laundromat Chicks and their seven track EP Trouble. Frankly you couldn't hit a nail more squarely on the head.
Listening to it, it sounds almost as of Ian Curtis jas decoded he would rather be on Postcard Records, than Factory Records back in 1980. Who knows, it might have saved him.
So the songs here sound not unlike early Josek K, Go Betweens or Orange Juice demos soaked overnight in glumness. I though the mood began to pall a little three or four songs in when I began to think the lead singer needed a jplly good shake. Particularly if you skip ahead and see that the next track coming up is entitled My Head Fell off. Nevertheless this is certainly worth a listen.
