RIYL: garage-rock revivals

The Mantles - (s/t)

breaking their instruments on Siltbreeze records (2009)

The Mantles are a San Francisco bunch who've got a soft spot for the clang and matted-hair indifference of garage-rock and its glory days. The version they play is very melodic, however, once you get past the surface noise, and also kind of jammy. Whichever way you describe it, their self-titled debut record is excellent, and one I've been spinning all morning. Highlights have got to be "Look Away," "Don't Lie," "Samantha," and "Thin Reminder." Don't say I didn't warn ya.
