Staff Pick of the Week

Every week we here at Repo like to pick one record that we can all agree on as being the one thing we can't stop listening to. This week's pick is.....

Menomena - Mines
(Barsuk)

So it's four years after "Friend and Foe" and it really shows. The whole album has a feel similar to FAF but with a more complete and confident writing style. Like with all their records this is really a headphones kinda album, so many little details make these songs what they are and it pays to give them their full attention. Some songs swell and become these behemoths while others manage to haunt you and make you keep re-listening to them. It's sorta like a good movie, you keep watching it over and over and then you start picking up these little details you didn't notice before. You think to yourself "Oh, I never noticed that piano in the back, cool". Then you start enjoying the music for so many other reasons and it's great.

Name dropping : They sound like Menomena, best way to put it.



I must have changed which song to put up about five times. It has became really hard to pick, I'm listening to the album as I type so I keep changing it to the song I'm listening to.

Staff pick of the Week

Every week we here at Repo like to pick one record that we can all agree on as being the one thing we can't stop listening to. This week's pick is.....

Endless Boogie - Full Head House
(No Quarter)

This is the kinda album you wanna put on at a relaxed party. You've got a few friends over, someone has brought a case of beer and you've got some whiskey in the cabinet. Some people are sitting down talking and some others are messing around in the back. All around a good time without too much effort to do so. Then you put on "Full Head House" and it fills the air. It becomes the back round sound to games going on, it fills in those little gaps in between conversations and it feels like you put the right album on.

No nonsense rock, plain and simple. These guys sound like some forgotten 70's blues rock band that decided to kick it up a notch.

Name Dropping : A really good ZZ Top record



Sorry this is the best video I could find.

Wild Nothing - Gemini

Reminiscing. Verb. Definition : To indulge in enjoyable recollections of past events.

Remember when you were little and listening to the radio and that one song came up that just seemed to engulf your senses? You'd stare at the ceiling but you weren't really looking at it, Your brain would just kinda came up with scenarios that the song would go perfectly with and you'd think "That would be cool." It's sweeping guitars and lose-yourself-never-to-be-found-again synth demanded that you start day dreaming, right now. Rememder? So does Jack Tatum.
