My turntable has been out of commission ever since I broke a very important wire with a very poorly placed footstep. As such, it was impossible for me to enjoy Pill Wonder’s LP Jungle/Surf that they were kind enough to mail me a few weeks ago. It sat on a stack near my desk until a trip to the store left my turntable in working order again. And man, what a fun record to have waiting for me.

It almost sounds like Pill Wonder are having too much fun with this for it to have been made in the Pitchfork/blog era. This sounds like music that would have been made back when you didn’t have to worry about what people were going to think on the internet, you could just do what you wanted. At times Jungle/Surf is kinda rough, but it’s always fun.
