There are a handful of sites I check to get my fix of guitar-based music that's loud, abrasive, or lo-fi (or all three at once), and
Ongakubaka is one of them. This blog has introduced me to some real treasures—including grunge addicts
Milk Music and lo-fi bedroom songwriter
Car Seat Headrest—and
it recently scored again with postpunk duo
Bad Bibles, whose "
Nearsighted" is today's
12 O'Clock Track.
"Nearsighted" sustains its propulsive power from the first note to the last, beginning with a sharp guitar scratch that approximates the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard and ending with a creepy "ooh-ooh-ooh" chorus. Stream it below and grab it for free from Bandcamp.
