Carolee, “EP1” (12XV, 2012)
Here’s an intriguing item: angelic-voiced C86ish guitar-noise-pop but, unlike the many similar efforts, this one is filtered through Swell Maps/early Pavement-esque structure-scrambling and powered similarly to Big Black/Metal Urbainlike beatbox punk. Truly singular, compelling stuff, with what feels like a dozen things going on at once on each track and the promise of working through its mysterious twists with subsequent listens.
