Bear with me on this one, please. Iowa City's Wet Hair have a new jam which took a few listens to sink in, but is now on a steady loop in my earhole. Night People figure man/Raccoo-oo-oon front boy Shawn Reed's vocals are a slippery bar of soap, hovering long on supposed off-notes like a Calvin Johnson or (even better) a Malkmus until those notes start to sound dead on and turn those poppy bass and keys into some jilted, frowning bird of paradise.
Shawn Reed also happened to put together the artwork for the band's new album, Spill Into Atmosphere, as well as basically all the Night People releases and tapes. And Night People, by the way, have a load of upcoming greatness, including a Peak Twins/Scott and Charlene's Wedding split, a wild new cut from BLANCHE BLANCHE BLANCHE, and a future Featureless Ghost LP.
Spill Into Atmosphere is out now on De Stijl.
