Tracklist:
1. Invisible Blouse
2. Homo Concentration
One of my favorite singles of last year, Dads' debut 7", to steal from the Soft Languages description, consists of "two ecstatic fuck-you's to unite fathers and children everywhere." The band plays a style of music similar to that of late 80s and early 90s college rock, only more blown out and married to a, um, dad aesthetic. While definitely catchy, it's juxtaposed with really fucked-up vocals. Somewhere between human wailing and the death throes of a dying bear, these tortured sounds weigh down the listener, maximizing the agony they convey. To be honest, it's kind of oppressive, but, ultimately, I think I enjoy that feeling after I listen to a song and I wouldn't have it any other way.
The A-side, "Invisible Blouse," is the main attraction, acting as the perfect introduction for the band to the world. The song is insanely captivating and leaves me wishing it was twice as long. "Homo Concentration" changes things up a bit. Instead of a propulsive rock song, it's a slow, torturous crawl, which exacerbates vocals' emotional effects even more.
I can't wait to hear more from this band. As I've previously stated, this was one of my favorite singles last year. "Invisible Blouse" is so incredibly good. Praise and thanks to the three gentlemen who are responsible for this. Be sure to pick this 7" up from the blossoming Soft Languages. It's worth it for the ridiculous E.T.-themed insert alone.
