So.. Volcanology by Brooklyn. Christ on a bike. It's jaunty, it's got 'ooh-oohs' and 'ba-bas' and it's WELL indie. At the start it upset my ears and by the end of the A-side the upset had trickled down my food pipe and infected my already black heart. Now I'm not even sure if I like music anymore. Looking on the bright side, there's also a remix that improves things several-fold, giving the vocals a bit of room and plodding along pleasantly enough, plus there's only 300 of these available on white vinyl so they're, y'know, collectable. I'm clutching at straws here. Invisible straws, covered in boiling chip fat. In the dark.
