We're pretty into the self-titled debut from the brainy Austin outfit Peel; then again, we're suckers for any song that sounds like a 21st-century take on the Meat Puppets' "Backwater."
A sort of comforting nostalgia is invoked, reminding you of when you first started listening to early Pavement singles. There is a boozy lit to tracks like "Sliding Doors", which shows the band giving their best crack at stone-drunk blues rock, and obvious reflections of Stereolab in "Workers Wake Up," with its tight horn section that illuminates and provides depth.
Peel is a new must for any dance party playlist. This album begs to be played a second and third time, proving that Peel is right on track with a highly addictive, energetic and fun first album.
The first time I listened to Peel was like hopping aboard my own little space pod and soaring at light speed through an old school Atari video game setting, where millions of rainbow colored staccato splashes create a jubilant dance-a-thon in my head. Ding. Boom. Score. Did I mention this was drunk space pod driving?
This is perfect summer driving music, and I expect it to be blaring on at least one trip to Tolantongo. I do believe you could also walk to this, but not without also rocking out.
