The sweat trickles down the small of your back, you lose your coat
but you can't cool down. Can you believe this band is real? The
Blind Shake are going apeshit on stage, hammering out each song
with perfect precision. Their second full-length album, Carmel, is
a double-barrel cannon of a record. Riding the wave of their first
release on Learning Curve Records, Rizzograph, and a recent
collaboration with psych hero Michael Yonkers; the boys hit their
basement studio to crank out this coffee and pick-up football
fueled, more mature, sounding record. Recording Carmel in their
homemade studio, the boys cultivated a sound that captures their
live aggression and heart, minus the smoke and mirrors found in a
professional studio recording. Each track attacks your sonic
sensory. Head bobbing percussion, straight line wind guitars and
cadence vocals move the listener into a frenzied motorized caustic
party fuck fest. Carmel is the DIY post punk, anti-noise-anthem
free-for-all call-to-arms. Carmel could be the best record to come
out of the vibrant Twin Cities underground since Lifter Puller's
"Entertainment and Arts". Hold on to your roos because you will be
tossed in a fit of espresso charged factory work pile up. The band
of brothers, the Blind Shake, are gonna make you sweat.
