DIGITAL LEATHER is set to release their fifth lp, SPONGE, on fat possum records very very soon.....
synth punk filtered through lo-fi garage..... catchy melancholy songs that fit right in with the useless eaters and jay reatard......
digital leather is breaking past that simple synth fueled punk chaos....writing songs that seem influenced by the flying nun bands, synth/power pop and 80s indie rock....think GUIDED BY VOICES or BEAT HAPPENING......
earlier albums on EMPTY, FDH and GONER were more straight ahead rock n roll affairs.....but the last two lps on FAT POSSUM seems headed to insular world where you can express you emotions with fuzzed out guitars and analog synths.....a place where the music is raw, unpolished and unconcerned about the lines draw in the sands by genres and critics......
i kinda forgot about DIGITAL LEATHER until i got my hands on this last release......its quite good.......you'd be doing yrself a favorite to grab all their releases.........
