The Austin, Texas based label Fleeting Youth have been quietly turning out some rather fine product over the last year, including the likes of Basketball Shorts, Mumblr and Zaleski.
Latest from the label is Baltimore three-piece VLMA's 'Thumb Bucket', lead track from their upcoming EP.
VLMA's (pronounced 'Velma') Travis Kuncl (vocals/bass) and Alex Velle (guitar) recorded/produced this release with no computers, just one hundred per cent analogue (including a homemade 150lbs plate reverb unit), and tracked in Alex's basement on an 80's 8-track Otari mx5050 tape machine - the same model deck that was used for Nirvana's Bleach. The result is a pretty raucous twinning of early Mudhoney-esque grunge and youthful, charged-up garage punk in the way of Fidlar.
'VLMA' is out on October 28 on cassette and digital formats via Fleeting Youth Records.
