"Tremmors"

After releasing two very good singles earlier this year, Chad Ubovich and his band the Meatbodies are ready to unleash their debut full-length. Their self-titled LP, out October 14 on In the Red, already shows promise due to its inclusion of "Wahoo" and "Mountain". "Tremmors" only makes the prospect of a full LP that much more exciting. That's partially due to its beefy guitar sound. If that particular element of the song feels familiar, that's probably because this album was recorded with Eric "King Riff" Bauer and mixed by Chris Woodhouse (Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees, Mikal Cronin, Fuzz).

They could skate by on that sound alone if they wanted—it's total comfort food for Segall and John Dwyer completists—but Meatbodies create a song with well-executed harmonies and melodic change-ups that keep things captivating. Without speeding headlong into a chaotic spiral, "Tremmors" ends with a sort of urgency; they're given just enough space to bust out some guitar heroics. It's a strong showing from Meatbodies, who just might live up to that absurdly great album art up there (by Fuzz and Slaughterhouse artist Tatiana Kartomten).
