gun outfit on PPM records

From Post Present Medium comes a new single from the Gun Outfit. I was just reading about Dinosaur Jr in Michael Azerrads Our band could be your life it definitely made me want to go back and revisit Living all over you and I can hear the parasol comparison here. It's got that kind of not trying too hard vocals...very Thurston-esque, and something very low-fi about the guitar recording...it just sounds immediate...the vocals recorded in the next room, that late night kind of thing. But not with Dinosaurs guitar virtuosity...which still ... have to say, I never loved.
I always remember hearing Lou Barlow side projects and his hate for the solo...likewise you won't find any of that here...just tons of carefree chords and nice backing female vocals.
I think it's two guitars and drums, which aren't all effects, it sounds like just an amp footpedal, or the MXR distortion...it's a call back to indie songwriting...not trying to blow you over with sound...just sincere love of indie guitar...and power chords.
The lyrics jotted down on a bunch of napkins...this could easily fit in with the late nineties 7" scene...Eric's trip...when everything seemed like it could be recorded in someones dorm room...it's a particular rhythm this is reminiscent of...like there's an indie BPM or something.
It just sounds...dare I say...nice.
There's two other songs besides 'Your will' on the PPM myspace.
Like a low-fi Blood on the Wall, but focused on a particular guitar sound. Not trying to sound like the entire 90's...just like one month.

By the way, the Liars/No Age split 7" is still available there...so now you have no excuse....pick these two up.

This review from Parasol:

Mika Miko

I am in desparate need of this sound lately. Not just shitty dime a dozen punk rock seven inches that I throw out by the boxfull, but something that borders on no wave or electro-something. Thanks to that book by Simon Reynolds 'Rip it up and start again 1978-1984' I've rediscovered the slits, though I could do without the reggae inspiration, or later hippie years essentially, Mika Miko is all of that sped thru 20 years of punk rock and then shot out the other side into great garage-punk.
I am all for this authentic back to basics sound. Everything down to the vocals just feels recorded right in the right space. Like Be Your Own Pet played in the garage and you brought a shitty tape recorder. Perfect.
I think it's weird to call this Punk. I think something can be punk in attitude and not really sound to me at all like Punk. Between this book and Real Punks don't wear Black I'm finding it important to really nail down these definitions, even though they are changing and I like abandoning the previous categories or using them in a fucked up prose way.
Anyway, to me this isn't 'Punk'

They have a seven inch on Post Present Medium records, for like $6
