Angry Angles

Angry Angles, “Angry Angles” (Goner, 2016; original recordings 2005-2006)
Now that this wave of garage-punk (the 4th? The 5th?) has been going for well on a decade, it’s worth tracing where it began, and Jay Reatard is a prime candidate. This is the previously missing link between Lost Sounds and his last solo works before his untimely demise, and it’s like a Rosetta Stone containing every strand in evidence in today’s scene – alien-assault robo-postpunk, bubblegum-zombie powerpop, Detroit-damaged street-punk rattle-and-roar, all forged into a coherent whole that kicks major ass.
