{"product_id":"blank-square-animal-i-lp-1486702262","title":"Blank Square - Animal I [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing. 2017 release. When squirming black mold in a dingy Bayshore, CA, warehouse became sentient, creaked and took humanoid form it created Blank Square and their singularly odd-punk debut, Animal I - sounding like the weirder end of Flesheaters but with a sterility that can only be contemporarily compared to Total Control's Aussie hardcore no-wave and then with a pinch of what made DNA and Mars amazing. This album is captured with plenty of concrete and sheet metal kept in the mix and a highlight towards dissonant syncopations, as if it was recorded in a empty room minus one chair and definitely down a flight of wet, cement stairs. Featuring saxophone with a mild but nauseating-at-times rippling slap delay, the band cruises on a rhythm section that sounds like they've got another house show to play tonight after this one. Rectangular in all the right places, it's uncomfortable, like sleeping in a car. For listeners who love art in their sax punk, reaching way back into California's punk history (SST would've undoubtedly dug this). There you go, weirdos.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBangers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpty My Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuc'd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBad Acid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePut a Lid on It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Was High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharmer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExit Saint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTape Measure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYouth Trash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"39","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50786608218408,"sku":"81486702262","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3518405.jpg?v=1763991528","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/blank-square-animal-i-lp-1486702262","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
