The latest platter from Brooklyn's own Mystery Lights. The A-side, Thick Skin, finds the boys moving away from a traditional '60s garage feel towards an angular, late '70s no-wave sound – but with a driving beat and verbal assault that brings groups like MC5 to mind. Coupled with scratchy / noisy bits that tip the cap to the more experimental side of The Velvet Underground, The Mystery Lights masterfully blend bluesy riffs, dorky farfisa, and tough rhythms to create a sound that's wholy their own. On the flip is In the Darkness which shows the more introspective, soulful side of The Mystery Lights.
