Coasting on M'Ladys Records

Caught this mention the other day of a new single from M'Ladys Records, from Coasting, who, believe it or not are also from Brooklyn...I know there are bands from other places....right?

The A-Side, 'Pussy Bow', sets the post-whatever-punk, chunky tone. There's some awkward chant style vocals that turn into yelling rage by the end. A weird repeated melody that really gets into a punk place, and all my worries about the tone of other myspace tracks all going to a safe echo, twee, kittens place are gone, they're in that Best Coast, Dum Dum neighborhood, but then they live just on the edge of cute and dirty punk St.. If they have a little of both of those places, well that's something new. If Frankie and the O's and The Fresh and Onlys combined would that be terrible? Probably since I just tried to force it.

A track not on this single, 'Coasting' is a great instrumental (?!) real loud, great melody, and again it gets distorted and they go all maniac on the drums, I appreciate this is getting dirty...I've heard a lot of cute, and dangerous is more exciting, let's face it.

'Kids', takes it back down again, this gets a little sloppy and HELL YES, they're willing to experiment with this drone chorus and buried vocals, but the intricacies are still there, they're still interested in a solid song.

I just noticed this is a freaking duo...of Madison and Fiona. Thankfully they are playing live so I'm definitely going to catch them myself soon. Hopefully they have a couple of these singles left.

M'LR 018 - COASTING - "THE ONE WE BOTH LIKE" & "PUSSYBOW" b/w "KIDS" 7" EP

BRAND NEW! SHIPPING NOW AND GOING REALLY FAST!

Immensely exciting debut single from one of the greatest groups in Brooklyn. Triple A-sided juggernaut that sounds like summer. And autumn. And the city. And the forest. Incredibly rockin', truly. First 100 copies pressed on vinyl the color of purple lollipops. (Purple vinyl is all sold out, sorry!) GET READY, OK.

Raise your pewter chalice to M'ladys Records.

New Tyvek! Mladys.

I love that this Tyvek single reminds me of being in high school, fucking around in the garage, you don't know any better you don't care, partially driven by just wanting to get out of your town, meet new people. There's nothing better to do, and you have this idea that you don't have to be the next MTV band, your stupid town is good enough, and you are your own audience. As long as you and your friends have fun then that's just enough to get by inbetween getting drunk...except that these guys have talent.
But it's that raw sound of a tape deck microphone recording a live show...every day. Does it even matter this was committed to magnetic tape and then pressed as grooves? Obviously this is best live and begging for reinterpretation...but this single will have to do, and it's a damn good facsimilie for authenticity.
This song is actually deconstructing sidewalks....that someone is contracted to build this line in the neighborhood, the infrastructure it's kind of a futile attempt to stop decay.
I've already listened to it like 10 times.
Shit..... they are good

So far Mladys is speaking my seven inch language, I don't even mind the $10 min paypal thing...that makes sense, and I can spring for 2 singles...I'm trying to figure out what the other one should be. Bad Thoughts is pretty awesomely minimal, and all quiet basslines...tons more singles in the works too...I don't know where Mladys came from but they need a singles club like I need a giant hole in my 45's.

Podcast episode 23: Me and Matt listen to Mono...and talk about how great they are...we work through more amoeba acquisitions, like Errors, who are amazing. We ruin it by talking...honestly. Matt talks about his recording with Bad at Sports. We play guess that single. (It's Minor Threat), this sets us drunkenly talking about fugazi etc..for 10 minutes. Lucky you.
