Another winner from one of our favourite labels. For years, Born Yesterday Records has assisted us as we've delighted in introducing Strangeworld's ever-curious clientele to the likes of Landowner, Stuck, Drool, Glued, Lawn, Cafe Racer (all come recommended and back in stock this week, plus a bunch of cassettes...)
"...there’s a vibrant quality to the album, every bump and scrape captured and left in real time. They’ve said the sound of The Funs wasn’t by design but necessity, with noisy recordings a result of their makeshift studio, but little feels makeshift about it these days, as Glow In The Dark Flowers has a natural essence to the way it sounds, the production capturing the barebones intimacy of the music, drum machines, wavering distortion and all. “On The Marble,” our first preview of the record is a pop song lurking in the shadows, a song for the rainy days and dreary nights, built on a classic post-punk sound. Guitars chime and echo as the drums keep a peppy beat firmly in place, mixing a sense of romanticism with a surrealist swoon.
Crane and Lesicko began to move away from the music they made as The Funs and started GITDF, a new project that carries much of the same spirit as their past projects, but with a new found sonic clarity and focus on minimalist details. On their self-titled debut album, the band are highlighting the fuzzy pop end of their music without the overwhelming scuzz, operating with a raw jangle reminiscent of Dead Moon or The Jesus and Mary Chain." - Post Trash
