Kent State - Spahn Ranch EP (2011)




/Alternative rock, Shoegaze, Garage rock, Fuzz rock, Experimental indie, DIY, Lo-fi/

Comment: in fact, it was not much time ago when I reviewed Nicholas Vance (with Emma Maatman, and Chris Camden) aka Kent States`s Challenger B/W single. By listening to Vance`s debut issue I can only admit that there is existing the flourishing indie scene (Dan Deacon, Ponytail, Romantic States, Cagey House, Wye Oak amongst others) in Baltimore. Spahn Ranch EP is described as psychedelic death pop at lastfm. Indeed, this cellophane-wrapped guitar fuzz is obviously influenced by the aesthetics of garage pop, Sonic Youth, and Slumberland-bound volatile guitar pop. By the kindred souls I recommend to listen to Andy`s Airport Of Love, and the Procedure Club.
