'they're so they're so goddamed young'.
It's Sunday and the sky is firm in Newcastle's heavens. I am listening to Chicago pup's Lifeguard's debut album. Ripped and Torn. What do we have here Horsegirl Junior? Hansen. If they'd listened to Sonic Youth rather than Jackson 5. Deodorant?
It's a bristling listening and they would be truly an excitinglive proposition. Their songs fizz and ring. They have dissonance. They know their Stev reich from ther Glen Branca. Their Philip Glass. Their Band of Susans. Swans.Arthur Russell.
At a certain point I think i hear Kim Gordon shrieking out of the mix. But I realise it's Lifeguard channelling Kim Gordon. It's all very bracing I must say..
