The Soft Pack - Parasites
The Soft Pack (Kemado)

I’ve been waiting for The Soft Pack’s new record for a while, and I’ve finally gotten ahold of it.  Fans of their previous record can expect a cleaner version of that, with a bit more power behind it.  Those new to the group should look forward to some high-energy rock’n’roll in the vein of The Fall or a less shoegazing Spacemen 3.

Anyone who’s been to one of their live shows can tell you it’s a high-energy experience.  Tracks like “Answer to Yourself” and “Parasites” are catchy, up-tempo embodiments of rock spirit.  They get a lil slower on “Mexico,” while throwing in some kind of experimental slide-guitar lead, which is also something you don’t want to miss.

They’re about to start playing some more shows now too, so check out their MySpace to find out about getting your face blown off.
