A fuzzed-out marriage of motorik repetition, noise rock and psychedelia, "Grim Pop" is the latest release from THIS IS NOWHERE, a band that isn't afraid to find a groove, move in and live there semi-permanently. And while droning riffs and minimal basslines are central to the band's sound, unlike some of their contemporaries, the strong vocal melodies are more than a mere afterthought. Your headphones thank you in advance.
