Play Guitar - You're an outline on black mountain music



Play Guitar
Black Mountain Music
You're An Outline / Try Not To Lie
Released Aug. 12th, 2007
1st press: 300

'Your an Outline' has a great buildup to some semi Jay Mascis style vocals over some strummed electric guitar from the early Sebadoh school of anti-solo. (Bear with me as I'm dropping the late 90's references like crazy).....This takes me back to the Lily's, the harmonies, sudden switch of rhythm, an almost 60's feel...or Eric's Trip, slight experimentation, building up guitars and hidden vocals or even Dump at his most melodical. Really this could fit perfectly in that era's Subpop catalog, when it was all cassettes and 4 tracks.

It's all mixed around the same volume, nothing is overpowering anything else, all leveled out. Then they throw you with some crazy time signature changes, the drums all of a sudden completely break out, not like in a math rock way, but more of a lackadaisical rhythm change, just to let us know they can, over and over when you least expect it.

They are that mix of 2 girls and 1 guy on jangly guitars, really trebly, like the Swirlies, that's the best comparison I can think of, the early, low-fi Swirlies where it just sounded like your friends, albeit some talented ones, just hanging out. Play Guitar sounds accessible and fun, and I would gladly apply the temporary tattoo and put on the B-side.
