BRICK HEAD - "BRICKS FOR BRAINS" CS

LULUS: The new tape from Brick Head feels more well defined and architecturally sound than their 2020 debut. Hammering their way through nine tracks of Wire cum PJ Harvey cum Saints solo construction; if the melancholy minor progressions and lead layers are the concrete mix then the binary kick/snare is the grout, with thrown lo-fi Iggy/PJ vocals putting the cracks in the walls. Some songs are more immediately punk’d up and quicker with some of that a-n-g-u-l-a-r attack but the drawn out and strung out slower numbers are where the feelings grow in these ears.
