Wounded Lion - Ivxlcdm [CD]

2011 release from the Art-Punks. Something is skulking through the toxic runoff of the entertainment capital of the world. With several 45's and last year's debut LP, Wounded Lion established themselves as Los Angeles' catchiest Art-Punk band. Fans love their exciting and weirdly direct live shows as well as their strange and original music videos, and the group is proof that genuine and cool music is alive in today's LA underground: no longer must one rely on memories of the Urinals, Suburban Lawns or Wall of Voodoo. Recorded by the singular Chris Woodhouse (Mayyors, Karate Party, etc.), the LP sounds dense and purposeful, with clattering, duel-Telecaster strum, tube-amp hum and feel-it-in-your-chest kick drum.
