Permanent Opposite Permanent Opposite LP
Debut from PERMANENT OPPOSITE, the solo project of Jared Leibowich. This eleven-track album is highly personal and emotional in a confessional poetry kind of way. I don’t quite want to call this indie, but it fits somewhere in that vein, as the songs are on the slower, softer side, with clean instrumentals and production, and may have just made it through the MRR criteria for inclusion—but that’s an uninformed speculation. I could see this being passed around a crowd who’s bored with KURT VILE, or those wanting more DEERHOOF (as John Dieterich engineered this album). I like a lot of the heart-on-the-sleeve sentiment within, but it’s not necessarily for me.
