Drum Eyes - 50-50
Gira Gira

You know, it’s stuff like this that makes me think maybe it wasn’t such a bad thing that most of my childhood was spent playing video games. I think I understand this music on a much deeper level now because of it.

Gira Gira has a lot of stuff going on. At times, it sounds like some Panic Bomber action, and at other moments, it’s heavy droning noise. Pretty soon into my first time listening, I wondered if I’d somehow stumbled upon some great lost Hella record I didn’t know I had; the first track, “50-50” employs a similar spazz drum style, as well as a wide array of electronics and guitarings. But while comparisons can be made to the work of Zach Hill and Spencer Seim, this record is definitely its own thing.

If I ever get rich, I’m buying a brand new Virtual Boy and every game ever released for the machine. Uh … actually, I guess I could probably just do that now. Do those even cost money?
