WARM BODIES - s/t LP

The much-anticipated full length from Kansas City freaks Warm Bodies is here, following their debut 7" on Thrilling Living and several cassette releases. This is by far the best collection of songs WB have put together (and sure, this LP is about 50% re-recorded material, but all works very well as an album). For those unacquainted with Warm Bodies, the sound here is feverish, trebly, shouted, punk. And one major thing I appreciate about this band is the complete lack of posturing or regard for trends. I mean, who willingly writes a song called "Something Weird Is Eating Me"? This whole thing is loose and guitar driven, but not sloppy, allowing for Olivia's shouts and shrieks of exclamation to fully push through the mix. This LP is packed full of ideas and just kind of screams out at you with its creativity, as each member carves out a bit of sonic space, but is able to reel that into a mesmerizing final mix. Recommended! Lumpy Records.

Note: Like almost all Lumpy releases, the LP jacket shows light corner creasing from shipping.
