Nice Face

"Thing in My Head" b/w "Hidden Automatic"

Sacred Bones

Nice Face presents another slab of super fuzzy homemade synth-rock, à la Blank Dogs.  Call it a trend, a movement, whatever, it's still a great time to be a fan of lo-fi noise-pop.  "Thing in My Head" messes around with a single riff for about three minutes, with a two-note bass-line bouncing around synthetic drum beats, distorted guitar with reverb, and dueling keyboard lines. "Hidden Automatic" vamps on another monolithic riff, but with a bit more swagger, and it actually sports a chorus for maybe a whole 10 seconds. Both sides win big, and I can't wait to hear more.

In a band?  Run a label?  Hate money so much you've made yourself a seven-inch?  Lemme hear it.  Send an email to music@flagpole.com and mention Singularity in the subject line.
