Your skull my closet review

ARTIST: YOUR SKULL MY CLOSET
ALBUM: LET'S GET ACQUAINTED EP
YEAR: 2010



7.2/10

I had heard about this band being from Michigan, and I decided to stop my cynical attitudes towards bands from my state. So often, I am forced to hear Chiodos and Fireworks as great examples of Michigan music.

This was an odd record to hear. To me, it never really set ground. It felt very off-balance, but it seems thats what this band was going for. The audio samples mostly seemed irrelevant to me, but still I did not mind them, they were short and always lead into a song, which is about the only standard thing I noticed on this record.

However, it does need mentioning that the guitar tones were incredible. On the title track, I was a very big fan of the vocalists howls and screams, but not as much as I really enjoyed the guitar tones. For some reason, they reminded me of the tones that an 80s post new wave band would pick. The bass player holds down this song very well. The guitar leads give off a very melancholy vibe.


This album was nothing outstanding or special, but there are worse ways to kill a little time. I cant explain why, but this band sounds like Jawbox was listening to Bends era- Radiohead.
