If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Melanie Radford Boise's Blood Lemon (which features Built to Spill bassist Melanie Radford) just released a single that is going to give some pretty serious flashbacks to those of us who were teenagers in the 90's. "High Tide" has a very Breeders sound to it, particularly in the punch given off by the bass. The song is layered in a fuzz that is almost thick enough to cover the harmony and melody which are strong enough to muscle their way through. There's also a heavy dose of psychedelia within the song, in an interesting Cornershop meets Veruca Salt kind of way. "High Tide" is a wonderfully crunchy song that is pushing the current crop of 90's nostalgia forward into the current decade. Guitarist Lisa Simpson says of the band's latest single: “I took the sensual for inspiration, and the beginning of ‘High Tide’ was a research query of what idioms or phrases other cultures use for orgasm.” You can watch the video for "High Tide"...
