The Daily Choice: Pamela - Lie Down (Eye Contact)
I’m sure someone else has already said this but, it needs to be repeated: the garage-rock scale has dipped, I believe permanently in to the darker, less-melodic void of 1990s grunge. Everything these days that once played nicely with the three-chord progressions and snarling lips of concrete encased rock ‘n’ roll is now laconically dropping their sneers in to slacker-frowns and staring down the barrel of Cobain’s legacy. Nirvana, Hole, L7 - this is the musical cycle we’ve stepped wholeheartedly in to and I for one am, with great enthusiasm, ready to embrace it.
Especially if it’s sounding as good as this Splinter’s side project Pamela. Drums, guitar fuzz, a drugged-out blues riff and the emotional output of a dangerously compulsive Prozac user? I’m just going to sit down for a second with a spliff and wake up tomorrow.
Pamela will be releasing there debut Whoa Whoa Records cassette at Thee Parkside this Thursday at the Positive Destruction Presents show.
