Middleman John Dillinger Died for You cassette
MIDDLEMAN keeps the music loose and dulcet, though not without some sharper edges. “Falls Apart” begins with a jangle and then a memorable chorus, but could just have easily proceeded into sonically harsher territory. The guitars have a particularly light, haphazard quality I associate with bands emerging from or in the orbit of the ’80s UK punk scene. It should please both genre aficionados and newcomers alike. The breezy presentation of often morose tunes gives this tape a weirdly whimsical feel.
