Cousins are a fine garage rock duo in Canada. At first it was Leigh Dotey’s solo project, briefly a four piece, then two, and occasionally three. Their excellent debut album was largely inspired by Aaron’s late Grandmother. Some of the songs are interpretations of Betty’s descriptions of her changing world due to dementia. Hard garage rock’n’roll sometimes with a very little Pixies and Breeders flavor.

Further Reductions is a very beauty speaking name of a Shawn O’Sullivan‘s band. He is one of the important figures in New Yorker analogue synth scene with his L.I.E.S. label; personal projects: Vapauteen, 440ppm; and bands: Led Er Est, Civil Duty and Further Reductions with his wife Katie Rose. During the listening of the latter band’s new album I noted these: a little tribal electro industrial, ebm, techno.

LAMC split 7″ series No 11. Mikal Cronin / WAND. A great split single for the fans of good noisy garage rock.
Mikal Cronin (Charlie and The Moonheart, Epsilons, Party Fowl, Okie Dokie, Ty Segall backing band) is a more and more known figure of „on-the-ground” musical life. His track is a Nirvana-like garage rock. In accordance with order of the series the A-side artist suggets a band to the B-side. Cronin picked the WAND. It was a very good pick. This is the band’s debut song, listen!
