Gun Outfit- Dim Light
While they've recently got some love, and are signed to LA label Post Present Medium, which is home to No Age, Wavves, Abe Vigoda, and plenty of other trendy f*cks, this album deserves much more attention, and should be on some year end lists, even though it was released in February. The publications that have reviewed Gun Outfit have dropped some very flattering comparisons. I've heard Meat Puppets, Sonic Youth, and Dinosaur Jr., all in the same sentence with this band. They don't have a bassist, and the sound is really interesting. The pounding drums drive the music, and Dylan Sharp's brooding, mumbling baritone is a the perfect complement to the distorted guitar licks that give Gun Outfit's take on punk a melodic edge. Enough description, these guys have that ever elusive quality of sounding familiar, but original at the same time.
