Bare Wires- Let Down 7". Remember that Bare Wires SSLD 7"? I sort of forgot about the band as Snakeflower 2 seemed to become Matt Melton's main musical vehicle, but the second Bare Wires 7" has now arrived, and it's now making me forget about that Snakeflower LP. Possessed of the same sort of beautifully sleazy Seventies Stones-y, semi-poppy flavor that the Snakeflower 7" on Tic Tac Totally had, both tunes are immediately accessible, sounding somewhat familiar and comfortable but still maintaining an original/modern vibe. Looks like the chick from Time Flys is in the band now too, so maybe that helps. I enjoy this guy's aesthetic, or least I like what he's doing in referencing late-Sixties/early-Seventies rock without pulling out the weird acid-psych vibe or proto-punk heaviness. Definately worth trackin down.
