We get a lot of crap CDs at the self-titled offices. But once in a while, a pleasant surprise slips into our promo stack. Here’s a recent delivery that knocked the S/T staff on its collective ass.
Album: Heavy Days (Infinity Cat, vinyl only)

RIYL: Mapping out the post-Be Your Own Pet family tree; Japandroids; lighting you hair on fire
