The past six months have been a tastemaking period for me. Through reading blogs and exposing myself to new music, film, art, I have been overhauling and rejuvenating my creative in's and out's. Recently, I got my hands on a few garage rock compilations and promptly added the genre to my sleeve of appreciation. The music exudes outside the lines rambunctiousness, while maintaining clear direction and artistry. It is careless as much as it is orchestrated. This contradiction is never a coincidence. Sic Alps is my newest find to channel the garage rock style. "L Mansion" can be found on the band's newest 7" on Slumberland Records. The single is less lo-fi than most current garage rock, however, it highlights key elements of a good 60's garage rock song: swanky hatch-marked guitar and "whoo" vocals."
