I've been meaning to/trying to review this Whatever Brains self-titled debut album for a while now. Despite them being one of my very very favorite local bands, I'm constantly at a loss as to what ot say about them. You could narrow down songs or parts of songs and compare it to a thousand different bands - Les Savy Fav, McClusky, The Fall, some of the electro-punk side projects of Jay Reatard like Final Solutions and Nervous Patterns, Devo being chased by feral dogs...fuck, they sound like a lot of shit if you try to break it down. But as a whole, when you listen to the album from start to finish - I'm not sure they sound like a single other band on the planet. A bold statement, sure, but I listen to a lot of fucking music and have seen a lot of bands live, and I've truly never experienced anything like the Brains. Let's just call it noise-electro-scuzz-punk. More importantly, let's call it awesome.
