Melkbelly - "Off the Lot"

Photo by Lenny Gilmore

With just a week before the release of Melkbelly's debut album, we have another new track to check out. "Off the Lot" is an aggressive, noisy quick burst at just over 2:00 long. "Kid Kreative" didn't quite explode into the noise I wanted it to, "Middle Of" did while still being kind of poppy, but "Off the Lot" is just noise. It reminds me of the kind of Sonic Youth song that only Kim Gordon would write, but the weird thing is there is this bizarre feeling of catchiness and just the slightest hints of melody throughout the song to keep it reigned in enough to not be just another noise rock song. This is making me long for next week.

You can watch the video for "Off the Lot" below. Melkbelly's debut album, Nothing Valley, will be out October 13 on Wax Nine/Carpark. You can pre-order your copy here. For more on Melkbelly, check out their website.
