Band:

Animals in CarsRelease:

Motion BlurRelease date: Out nowLabel: Self-releasedThis year-old Seattle quartet show a fondness for early Merge and Matador Records bands like Sebadoh and Pavement on their eight-song debut which is heavy on heavily distorted guitars and sunny melodies. “Nothing” could be an outtake from Weezer’s Blue Album, and though the playing and production is a bit sloppy in parts, Animals in Cars ought to have no trouble finding an audience for this stuff. A solid debut. Available digitally for $4 on their Bandcamp page.Motion Blur by Animals in Cars
