Collate – Medicine / Genesis Fatigue 7"

Two new songs from Collate — no wave for the now; desperate sounds for desperate living.

"Shards of glass guitar punctuate a rhythm section that wants you to dance that anxious bedroom dance you did when you first played that Au Pairs mixtape your cousin made. Each song is delivered with minimal fanfare and maximum intent: music by people who know what they're doing and know what they want." (Allan McNaughton)

"These tracks are KILLER. Stylistically, they’re in the same vein as previous releases from Collate. If you haven’t heard those, Collate seem to take a lot of inspiration from the early Rough Trade Records / UK post-punk sound—particularly bass-forward bands like Delta 5, Essential Logic, the Slits, and Gang of Four—but they playing is more aggressive and the production nastier and noisier, more like the DIY hardcore that we focus on at Sorry State rather than the more polished presentation of Lithics or Shopping. These two tracks only add up to about four minutes of music, but no one would call a second of this record filler."
(Daniel Lupton / Sorry State Records)
