What i gathered from this record was a handful of catchy tracks filled with fast high hat hits and continual wandering guitars.  Lots of overdrive and pedal effects stopping just seconds before your eardrum starts spewing blood all over your skull candies. Think the Dartz only slightly heavier. Who doesn't want to hear songs about dead friends, and shitty girlfriends?

Good morning my beautiful and educated following, are you ready for something completely from left field? Well then strap on your moon boots and give White Denim a listen. Three guys straight out of Austin, Texas coming at you with what can only truly be called an eclectic mix of musical genius. Blaring out of the gate with garage rock fav. Lets Talk About It, this record boasts in my opinion such a wide variety of genres styles and sounds, there's gotta be a gem in here for everyone. From the jazzy Sitting to the wild loops and industry sound of Messed Up Your Hair to the Tower of Power like funk of Darksided Computer Mouth. I implore you all the be adventurous and get down on this record.
