Minot Walls / People Pleaser 7″
Lo-fi, pop-tinged garage punk from Missoula, Montana. The A-side “People Pleaser” sounds like Toody Cole fronting the VELVET UNDERGROUND or BEAT HAPPENING; sparse instrumentation with chilling vocals and a cool organ line throughout it. The B-side “Walls” was not as interesting. The vocals annoyed me so badly that I couldn’t finish the song, and I tried twice.
