Song(s) of the Day # 3,431 Squitch

 

Boston's Squitch's fourth album Tumbledown Mountain seems most immediately in line with Kim Deal's way of doing things. Melodic, vaguely pained but winding atmospherics. I'm not complaining. 

 Tumbledown Mountain is a series of paths up to the summit and back to bass camp. In addition to Pixies and Breeders they brought sister band's Throwing Musies' dense undergrowth to mind. 

While it's not easy to escape these instant connections, Squitch do what they do exceptionally. Their guitar explorations are never less than diverting and this is a record that anyone who's ever found themselves in an All Tomorrow's audience
