|Eagulls - Council Flat Blues

Leeds quintet Eagulls make a shambling racket akin to No Age doubling up with a studlier Cloud Nothings -- or something older and scuzzy from the '90s Pacific Northwest. They lean into their instruments, but keeping the vocals buried within the feedback doesn't lessen the anthemics. See, for instance, the B-Side of their forthcoming debut "Council Flat Blues" single. It's called "Acrostical." John Cage approves, etc.

Side A:

"Council Flat Blues" b/w "Acrostical" is out 2/14 via Not Even. As far as additional aesthetic frames, here's a cover they did of the Wipers' "Mystery."
