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.....

Black Ryder - Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride
(Mexican Summer)

Sometimes dreamy, sometimes shoe gaze-y Black Ryder creates songs that you can really get lost in. While writing this I stopped to give one song my undivided attention for a moment and ended up listening for another three tracks without being aware that anytime had passed. Part of this is due to the fact that every once in awhile you'll hear something that sounds familiar. What your hearing is Black Ryder paying homage to those that came before and inspired them. At times you'll hear Brian Jonestown Massacre, Oasis, Smog and others. And honestly, it's great.


Are you even aware that seven minutes just passed? In the amount of time it took to listen to this song 5,250,000 gallons of water fell over Niagara Falls.
