#novvinylchallenge day 13: soundtrack. I don't have any soundtracks on vinyl. Oh lord, keep me away from horror soundtracks. I'll go nuts buying them. Closest thing I have to a soundtrack is this neat fundraising 7". This 2014 bundle of holiday cheer features covers by #Dikembe, #HaveMercy, #YouBlewIt!, and #Kittyhawk. I think it's one of 250 pressed? #toysfortots #softspeakrecords

Blis positions itself as indie royalty on its new EP

I know what I fuckin’ said. I’d be posting a list soon, but I didn’t yet. Instead, I’m sharing some seriously underrated stuff that is about to blow up. This is Blis’ stream of their new EP Starting Fires in my Parents’ House.

I don’t think I’m the first to say that the band sounds a bit like a million things I’ve already heard, but in such a perfectly layered and brilliant way that I’d be a fucking idiot to say it wasn’t original. And excellent. Take for instance, the song “Floating Somewhere High and Above.” About halfway through you can hear at once Andy Hull’s Georgian affectation in both vocals and religious imagery (Blis. belong to the Peach State as well), Brand New’s Devil and God… era screams and about a million other things. You could say Isaac Brock’s neo-bluesy wavering voice also bleeds through in a lot of places. Then again I could say that the vocalist sounds a bit like the vocalist of a few different bands but I don’t want to get too caught up in that. 

Instead, just listen to it. If you’re into the idea of an emo-er All Get Out (who are great, if you haven’t heard) give these dudes your ear and get their EP when it comes out via Soft Speak Records on February 10th.
