Being Dead - 'EELS' (Purple Tree Frog Vinyl)

Recommended if you like: Deerhoof, The Beets, Devo, Pixies, Cindy Lee, B-52s. Recorded & Produced by John
Congleton. Being Dead knows how to make an entrance, within the first several seconds of EELS, the duo’s new record, the bright,
hard-strummed guitar line on “Godzilla Rises” conjures cinematic immediacy, a creature emerging from the depths of the ocean in
campy, freaky stop motion, fittingly so. Being Dead’s records are mosaics, technicolor incantations, each song its own self-contained
little universe. And while the dreamlike EELS probes further into the depths of the duo Being Dead’s psyche, it is, most importantly, in
the year of our lord 2024, a 16-track record that is genuinely unpredictable from one track to the next: a joyous and unexpected trip
helmed by two true-blue freak bitch besties holed up in a lil’ house in the heart of Austin, Texas. “It’s cool without trying to be; it feels
raw and rustic, but it’s always infused with heart and honesty.” - Far Out Magazine.
