Super Vacations / Thicker Milk

Shdwply

Thicker Milk is the new sprawling, twenty-one song opus which finds the band, since the release of their self-titled debut in 2008, expanding in every possible way. Now a formidable five piece, the band’s exploratory psych-surf nuggets are bigger, bolder, more aggressive, and occasionally darker than before. The riffs are instantly memorable, the melodies blissfully sloppy and the psych expertly concentrated. Think Captain Beefheart, Guided By Voices, Kinks and 13th Floor Elevators whizzed up in a heady audio cocktail of pop goodness. Recorded over the past two years by the band across various locations, Thicker Milk is a record that dips its toes in psych, punk, surf, pop and points in-between without ever sounding nostalgic or dated. Over the course of twenty-one tracks in thirty-five minutes, the band whittle their precision riffs and ethereal harmonies down to perfect pockets of sound.
