All I can say is, holy shit, buy this album immediately. I literally haven't been this excited by a band all year, and I'm not even sure how to go about the usual signifiers of 'recommending' something ... I guess let me just say that Crystal Stilts have melted down the last 40 years of rock music and reconstituted it into an understated lo-fi post-punk masterpiece that falls somewhere between 'Marquee Moon,' 'Psychocandy,' and 'Nouns.' This is simply the best album of the year thus far.

Style: Indie Rock

RIYL: No Age, Jesus and Mary Chain

An instant classic, gripping from start to finish. Almost flawless.
