Musical Musings

My earliest memory of Skidmore’s math rock outfit Slim Charles involves drunkenly trying to dance to their off-beat grooves (see “Words”) at a bar (or was it Falstaff’s?) well over a year ago. I remember heckling the bandmates for recordings, but couldn’t get anything more than cell phone quality videos recorded at said bars. Now, my dream has finally come true: their EP, Versus Fatso Jr., has been masterfully recorded and released. Listen to “Triangulate” above, then download the EP here. Some of the best use of distortion I’ve heard in math rock in a while.
