White Denim - Say What You Want
Fits (Downtown)

The new White Denim album is my first experience with the group (though it came packaged with the previous release, Exposion, which I’ve given a spin and look forward to spinning again).  This record has range; people who like Zach Hill & the Holy Smokes, as well as fans of Dan Auerbach’s solo work can find things to get behind here, but I have to say the former stuff (the crazier stuff) is more interesting to me.  Frenetic, to say the least.

The flack’s description of Fits describes it as “an album made for vinyl, with a clear distinction between sides A and B.”  That’s accurate; side A is the gnarled, cracked-out prog-punk side, while side B is the country, jazz-rock side.  They’re both good, but like I said, I like A better.

Give this one a spin, post-haste.  It’s superfly.

P.S. “Oh Regina” sounds like “Oh Vegeta,” to me, because I’m retarded.
