Mordecai "Drag Down" b/w "Waste" (Wantage USA)
Another piece to the puzzle unravels with this newish single from Montana's Mordecai, a band whose debut 12 incher really blew me a new one when I heard it late last year. In an age where Rock music, especially that of the vaugely defined "Garage" variety, is by and large stillborn, Mordecai offer a shining example of how to get things done with class and dignity still firmly intact. There's no carbon copy throwbacks to any era on this or previous discs thus far, just a focused distillation of whatever root it is that gives all the best Midwest Art-Rock its intuitive and unassuming weirdness. Real salt of the Earth type shit; zero pretension but a natural "otherness" that could likely come from the unchecked psychological abuse of older siblings (two of 'em are bros fittingly enough, both born at seperate Dead shows), being called "faggot" by public school knuckle draggers and a sophisticated realization of the generally harsh landscape one's got to deal with from an early age on. The A-side, "Drag Down", starts with a nice bit of feedback before giving way to drums that sound like a Scott Asheton practice take, a worldview similar to Bowie's as filtered through Todd Tamanend Clark, and a buzz 'n chug that's all their own. Admirable stuff. "Waste" is what their calling the B-side, but I find it to be far less a waste of time than many other efforts I've heard in passing as of late. It's got a bit more swagger than the flip, slowly revealing itself like John Cale underneath his trench coat circa Sabotage/Live. Not sure there's a whole lot more I could ask from a single, lest it were to grow dainty, yet powerful, hands and give my rug-a-tug. Despite my hopes that don't seem to be happening, but I'd still rate this one of the better sevens that's crossed my plate in 2012.

A review from punk rock paper maximum rock and roll:
If there was a Flying Nun label on the back of this record and it said in the winter of 1983 (not 2010) you could have totally fooled me. The A-side is up-tempo, noisy, lo-fi pop song with poorly recorded acoustic guitar (all string sound), sloppy electric guitar, minimal drums and lazy, snotty vocals. It's like in the documentary Friends of the Enemy, when the journalist, Roy Colbert says about the CLEAN that when they first started as a band "they started writing songs that were quite good but they didn't play them very well." The point being that the sloppy, minimal aspects of the song are what make it so much more interesting than an overproduced pop song. The B-side is a slower tune with a more garage feel. It has a more full drum and guitar sound and even lazier vocals delivered in a very LOU REED style. This is one of the cooler records to cross my desk in a while. (PA)

Debut lp on killertree records sometime in the next 30 or so days (cannot float any real release date from MT) but regardless some here are innerested and those not yet (or never) converts could take a gander at this site, where the A side is uploaded in the shittiest possible quality.
