Nerve City is a lo-fi outfit from Richmond, VA. Their brand of fuzzy, lo-fi/rocknroll/psychedelia is both extremely catchy and haunting at times (particularly the song Riverboat...a personal favorite).
Released in 2007 on Amateur Depression records, a label that, along with a handful of others I recently stumbled upon sometime before the new year, has won my approval and restored some of my enthusiasm.
If this makes you as moist as it made me then check out the rest of their discography...you will not be disappointed. They currently have a new 7" out, released towards the end of 2009 I believe, called RED TOPS on HoZac. Dig.
Blank Dogs is one-man band from Brooklyn who apparently holds himself up in a bedroom and cranks out a progressive abundance of synthed-out/lo-fi/darkwave-ish/pop tunes for me to fall in love with and fall in love to. Remember what I said about Nerve City earlier? Well the same goes for this guy's music...both extremely catchy and haunting. I couldn't decide which of his records to put up at first (there's plenty) and finally decided on this one as I've currently been listening to it the most (the song "Crystal Ladies" is a personal favorite on this one). Out as of 2008 on Troubleman Unlimited/Fuck It Tapes.
