Let’s Wrestle/The Love Language – Split 7”
Merge, 2010
Acquired: Love Garden, New, 2010
Price: $6
This is a Record Store Day exclusive, no doubt purchased
because I got up early and didn’t want to leave Love Garden empty handed. Even
though I think $6 is a bit excessive for a 7”, I fucking love Let’s Wrestle.
And their contribution, “I’m So Lazy,” is an exemplary slice of the
slacker-tinged alt-rock the band worked to perfect over the course of their
early EPs and first album, In The Court
of Wrestling Let’s. The aforementioned first album was a little overstuffed
for my liking, and I don’t know if I ever made it all the way through, but
their single “I Won’t Lie To You” is one of those songs that pops up every now
and then and I’ll stop in my tracks to enjoy the pure, sloppy glory of that
number. The Love Language is a band I’m not familiar with, but their
contribution to this 7”, “Brittany’s Back,” is a damn good piece of middle of
the road indie rock thanks to the fact that it sounds like it was recorded
through a camcorder, which paints an intriguing film over the song.
