Short, inventive slowcore pieces from Denton,
Texas. Grahm Robinson [sic] is in the same stylistic ballpark as American
Analog Set and Bedhead, with sparse instrumentation filling huge amounts of
space, expanding into nothingness and always returning to Robinson at the
center. Indie guitar runs burst into distortion at times, while synthesizer
accompaniment breaks through and twinkles like sunlight. The vocal delivery is
of the downtrodden sort you’d expect from the types of bands I’ve listed, and
it’s an excellent touch. This is the kind of thing I used to really get into,
especially toward the second half of my college career. “Double Negative” is a
brisk four songs in ten minutes, so you don’t even have to set aside much time
to take it all in. But don’t worry – that ten minutes is totally worth giving
your attention to this.
