ORIGINAL ARTICLE


Bear with me, there's a pretty weirdo background story of how I ended up with this latest offering from Out Of Order Records and Orange Regret Records.
I was working on this art project I needed 1" buttons for, and ended up coming across Heather's etsy store. When I emailed her at outoforderrecords.com I had to check that out that URL because you never know... and of course there's a 7"! You just never know.

So I talked to Heather about her latest single (of course I couldn't help myself) and then I ended up interviewing her for the podcast which will be up tomorrow...in the mean time I've been spinning this Swimsuit Drugs Green Green, (or for legal reasons) G Green single. Previous sold out releases from OOR, the Trashies and The Dissimilars are in the hardcore/punk side of the 45, while this GGreen outfit is punishing speakers in an altogether different way with his Low-Fi Uber Alles.

On the A-Side you're hit with 'Swimsuit Drugs'. I'm not sure what's more distorted; the guitar, or the vocals. It's definitely a different sound from both, not necessarily effects, but separate textures, the guitar input was turned up to 11, and then the vocals are run through some kind of pedal effect. But the thing that makes this more than another fuzzy, muffled tune is the vocal melody, or anti-melody I should say. He's honestly singing along to something no one can hear, it's pretty unique...I want to say he's something of a low-fi Tiny Tim....well, not exactly. It's like he's drowning, or drunk and really has something important to say. He's got the answers and no one is paying attention...so needless to say he's getting pretty frustrated. There's an organ-ish synth under all this that starts to break down as well, just running up and down the keys. It's working with it's own weirdo outsider logic.
It's mysterious how they arrived at this melody, what's going to happen to this live and why on earth they make drugs for swimsuits.

The B-Side 'Mouth on the Floor', is equally obscured by the sound waves being clipped off at high levels. For some reason I'm responding to this melody more than the A-Side, it's slightly less chaotic, and sticks with you. It's a textured recording of a tortured suffering guy just rocking out some kind of blues/folk in an underground cave. Again it's massively distorted/blown out/overmodulated, rerecorded, bounced down to fisher price recorders...it's an art, this kind of texture. But really what I can't get over is the vocal stylings on this one. It's almost even more wavering, yelling. If it wasn't so blurred by no-fi I don't think I'd be able to make out much of what he's saying thanks to his style. I'm itching to hear this clear as day. It just might be more compelling. Impossible notes from a disturbed individual...I don't think he's faking.
Yikes.

The latest outfit to pony up & stir-fry outta the lo-fi wok is from Davis, Ca & calls themselves Green Green. Predictably there's nothing remarkable about it, unless you's think RTFO Bandwagon deserve a Northern California Appreciation Chapter. If that's the case, do you's also think that your parents was two dogs who fucked each other in the ass & a puppy popped out? Well....do you? Comes w/a little band pin I'll never sport, but ain't lost. Yet.
