Perfect Pussy – Say Yes To Love (Captured Tracks)

I wish those mixed-with-menstrual-blood vinyl copies of Perfect Pussy’s debut Say Yes To Love were pressed on only one side, and digital copies could have been condensed to a single track. That’s because Perfect Pussy’s ramshackle punk songs function as a focused whole. Charging right from the start with “Driver” and “Bells,” the album hits a slightly dreamier note with “Interference Fits” — the band’s finest song to date — before diving into even more ambient territory. The last eight minutes of the album shifts to full instrumental noise-drift, which might seem insane for a record that’s barely more than 20 minutes long, but Perfect Pussy pull it off with unfathomable confidence. At this point they could do just about anything. –Miles [LISTEN]
