When you cross Lou Reed-like vocals and Sonic Youth influences you get a great band called Gun Outfit. Their debut album Dim Light has eerily similar sounds to Daydream Nation, although not as evolutionary in terms of a genre changer. This lo-fi, three piece punk band from Olympia, WA burn through each song leaving you breathless when they are done with their 28 minutes. The tag team singing duo of Dylan Sharp and Caroline Keith play off each other flawlessly with the contrasting deep tones of Sharp against Keith’s angelic voice. As a first time listener to their music you might feel like you be in a time warp to a different decade all together and it is one that everyone should take. Album out now on PPM recordings. Buy it here. I’ve given you the vinyl link, cd is also available. On to the tunes!
