about

Total Mom's Brain Tiny is another high-strung thesis paper on teen pedal aesthetics from good ole Providence USA. If you didn't get a chance to catch one of his scorching live sets up and down the East Coast corridor in the past year, good news: the home edition is here.

“Old People Frighten Me” opens with a plaintive organ melody before devolving into a din tornado certain to drive a few corncobs through your barndoor. Track-title-of-the-year nominee “Violent Friends” claws the walls like a panicked grizzly seeking the fire exit, and the long-form screech calisthenics of “I Love My Dog” will give your jaded & atrophied inner ear muscles a much-needed workout.

But Brain Tiny is more than just more of the same, as evidenced by the new avenues of exploration on display. "The Future is Real" is full frontal drone beckoning for you to stare and/or disappear into its maw, while ambient album closer "Sammy" comes out of left field, both for the album and the artist. Diaphanous wafts of buzzing drizzle drift in dreamy waves before cocooning you tightly for later consumption (and, by the way, if you ever run into Total Mom, ask him who "Sammy" is).

Anyway, it looks snazzy and sounds real good when you're driving fast through a blizzard on the highway. Maybe it's time to dust off that deck and head north, partner.

I cannot praise this album enough. This album is absolutely terrifying! The many starts and stops creates this very h settling tension. Each start expands on the stopper idea previously. It’s like the music equivalent of walking through thick fog while passing out multiple times throughout trying to find a place to orientate yourself. There may or may not be something sinister in that fog, but you don’t want to stick around to find out. Bought the vinyl so I summon the fog demons through spe showhornwithteeth

Exit Rumination

If you're looking for the sound of kindling dread and cold alienation, this is the album for you. I'm used to Deathbed Tapes' output being a sonic assault, and artists whose approach to sound is to invariably push it "into the red". This however is so much more subtler, it's gentler pace drawing-in curious listeners, enveloping them in it's all too intriguing darkness. Ben Harris
