AL BURIAN

 

Hard to imagine anything landing further from yesterday's content than this vaguely mysterious cassette from AL BURIAN. On the one hand, I want to talk about the acoustic singer/songwriter shits and bedroom 4-track action that cannot not remind me of Matty noodling incessantly in the pantry in 1996. The total but accidental and undeniably amateurish bliss of the two instrumental tracks that split this tape in two parts. The random and unrecognizable MOTÖRHEAD cover that sounds like it was recorded in 1973. Extraneous Music is the perfect title. But on the other hand, I just want to mention that I booked a matinee show at Mission Records in the summer of 2000 with MILEMARKER, THE RIIFS, ESPERANZA and FLOATING CORPSES. And it seemed completely normal.
