OMAT Brooklyn, New York
OMAT's cranky feedback wails fed by angry guitars and
heavy drum hits are accompanied by satisfying
melodic
phrases that invoke a rage-full feeling of nostalgia. Messy
and sweet in all the right places OMAT invites you
in and keeps your attention.

Once you start listening, good luck stopping. Banger after banger. Could not choose a favorite song for the life of me. Reminds me of a lot of goth new wave I listened to growing up, yet is novel and original in its own right. Play this at my birthday, wedding, funeral, play this when I'm stuck in purgatory for eternity.

Really good record in all ways, great mood to it. Also, more albums, media and art in general should respect Alien3

Crispy Crunchy Nothing

"Just for an hour, f**k everything..." Madeline Link must have been born in the late 90s, yet she's steeped in the indie rock of the years just before she was born. Her aesthetic is so coloured by The Good Stuff that this album could have been presented to me as a lost gem from that era and I'd have taken it as gospel. Fans of Pavement and The Shins in particular will take Packs to their hearts, but there are also lovely little echoes of Bilinda Butcher at times. Beautiful, melodic slacker tones

Freak Me Out

Searing, driving post-punk with shoegaze's enormous wall of sound and garage-punk's catchy hooks from A Very Special Episode.

Sydney rockers Third Eye Stimuli temper aggressive post punk with trippy synths and splendorous shoegaze.

PACKS distills all of their usual sounds of despair and wit into these short and clever songs you want to hear over and over again. The recording mix is reminiscent of Elliot Smith's stuff yet fresh with these lead vocals.
