Slothrust - In a Sexual Way

I don't know what their overall deal is, but usually, it's best for me to not know. On the other hand, and I realize that I'm judging a book by its cover here, I get the feeling I'd enjoy a few beers and a chat with these guys. This song is a short but thorny journey, and it goes places that are unexpected. If there's such a thing as post-punk, then these guys are post-L7, specifically. That might be too narrow a scope, but either way, the music scratches an itch.

Observe:


And another because it verifies to me that they're not just cobbling together cool sounds, but rather really listening to music and crafting a sound of their own. (Then applying it to a song that I wouldn't expect, but perfectly fits their style.)
