...according to our Brett on 07 October 2009.

It's probably fair to say that I don't really get No Age. I think some of their stuff's alright but I've never been able to understand quite the level of hype and adulation they've had from the start. But 'Losing Feeling' I'm liking. The title track is much hazier than anything I've heard of them before, reminding me of the likes of Deerhunter or (as Brian suggests) early Mercury Rev - all vague and dreamy but with a hint of garagey harshness. Elsewhere they come up with a strummy ballad, an ambient psychedelic instrumental and one that sounds bizarrely like post-shoegaze chancers My Vitriol (but better, to be fair). I'm pleasantly surprised I've got to say! And Sub Pop continue to show how it's done - wrapping it all up in a thick cardboard sleeve with a picture inner sleeve, chucking in a download code and keeping the price down to boot. Nice job!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

· ‘Losing Feeling’ is a new 4-song EP from Southern Californian
friends No Age. All four songs were written in the band’s practice
space. ‘Genie’ was even recorded there; the other three were
recorded at Infrasonic Sound. All of it took place in Los Angeles.
· No Age: the name alone suggests multiple meanings and possible
interpretations - timeless, ageless, anonymous, free from
restriction, something positive from something negative… a
profound strength in its simplicity. Likewise, the Los Angeles duo
consisting of drummer / vocalist Dean Spunt and guitarist Randy
Randall is many things at once, even as it embraces its
minimalism.
· Spiritual heirs to both Thurston Moore’s wide-eyed
experimentalism and the all-encompassing, stark DIY art-is-life
aesthetic of the Crass collective, No Age is the kind of band that
inspires its audience without affectation, without cynicism. Its live
shows are an exploration of possibilities: a guitar laid over a
resonating drum head, effect loops woven together like beautiful
harmonies, pop songs as performance art, a duo that sounds like
the gale force of rock history delivered through a wind tunnel.
