I'm gonna give this Spare Snare 'I Love You, I Hate You' CD a go. It's a self released limited screen printed digipak job. They've had seven previous albums and quite a few singles out over the years but I must admit I'm not really all that familiar with these Dundee guys which puts me in good stead to listen to this with open ears. The songs are well crafted old skool early 90's type lo-fi indie type gear. The vocal reminds Phil of Sebadoh and Xiu Xiu and Brett has pointed out a bit of an Ian Curtis type effect on the vocal which becomes more apparent as the album progresses. There's some interesting stuff happening on the album, there's even a Speak and Spell which is always a winner. I do like the production sound, it's raw but not too scuzzy and the bass is sounding really cool.
