\"Mourn\"<\/a>Please don\u2019t tell me how good a Sleater-Kinney album is in 2015. This isn’t supposed to be some regenerative proclamation in a new year of music. It is a great album. But Sleater-Kinney was better in another time. As much as I play it, it’s not an album that makes me feel like I do when I listen to the debut from the Catalonia teen misfits of Mourn. The quartet have life, meaning, relevance, and yes, in a obtuse amalgamation of chords, riffs, and attitudes, they sound exactly like the \u201990s.<\/p>\n

Mourn\u2019s core, Jazz Rodriguez Bueno and Carla Perez Vaz, make no apologies for their love for and inspiration from PJ Harvey. “Your Brain Is Made of Candy,” which starts the record, has the exact timbre of Rid of Me<\/i>, but that same vulnerable to feral intensity is strictly channeled forward, not back. When Bueno decries, \u201cI will do an intervention, while you\u2019re not paying attention,\u201d there\u2019s a grown singularity to her voice, a sense that she\u2019s struck a volatile nerve that will takes years to heal.<\/p>\n

In describing it, the band\u2019s importer, Captured Tracks, has placed an emphasis on the album’s \u201clightning in a bottle\u201d aura, and though it was recorded in a thrifty 48-hour session, it sounds like a band who has honed its chops and is now just plying the gritty textures and muscular dynamism of the songs. Every minute is crucial and teeming with emotional heft. Again, there are tons of references thrown their way\u2014the Sleater Kinney prickly guitar attack, the metal-on-metal abrasiveness of Shellac on \u201cMisery Factory,\u201d the punch-to-the-neck of Bikini Kill\u2014which suggests they are simply cutting their teeth. But a song as ephemerally vital as first single \u201cOtitis\u201d is an undeniable statement of purpose.<\/p>\n

The smell of teen spirit and the learned maturity of their playing is in stunning balance. In fact, it\u2019s records like this that are (hopefully) transformative for the next (and next) generation. It\u2019s simply one of the most exciting debuts since, well, the last time punk, or the aesthetic sonic ideal of punk, was put to an existential test. That was Iceage\u2019s still raging New Brigade<\/i>. The power is in the attitude and a simple juxtaposition of the youth zeitgeist. Mourn have that \u201cfeel.\u201d It all leads to the dragonslayer quiet-loud-louder thump of the finale \u201cSilver Gold\u201d and its possessed refrain of \u201cDeliver me from heaven. Do it, it won\u2019t hurt.\u201d Yes, this is a revolution, or at least the next best thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
