Los Angeles’ Rubber Blanket (members of Wounded Lion and The Intelligence), a group that proffers a distinct humor/horror consciousness that is coaxed via a crate of oddball musical machinery that is arranged in a manner that bucks all subterranean boogie, is set to release their sophomore album. Our Fault, via Mt.St.Mtn on June 29.

Hear “Good Times” here.

Our Fault thoroughly trounces the laziness cabal. Its 10 tunes beckon listeners to embark on a preternatural sojourn under the collective Blanket of Brad Eberhard, Lars Finberg, and Jun Ohnuki (survivors all of WOUNDED LION), three artists and composers, working together forever and then some. 

Unless there’s literal goo-goo-gah-gah, the notion that rockish musics with discernable peculiarities must possess childlike predilections is shite nouveau, serving only to signal that the experimental market is not blonde enough to churn hype butter. This kind of trash-think ignores the existence of real wonderment, as if the constant ingestion of multiverse stimuli couldn’t / wouldn’t / shouldn’t impact the capacity for marvel within the living human sponge. Our Fault is bright enough to recognize and even reproduce this strange ever-growing awe.

A tumultuous, and somehow scientifically programmed spontaneity, is bottled on Our Fault. Different Rock’n’Roll, bright and strange.

Order Our Fault here (U.S.) and everywhere else here.
