Various Artists, 'The World's Lousy With Ideas Vol. 8' (Almost Ready)

Proudly sounding like shit for nearly two years.

Since 2007, the World's Lousy series, compiled by Brooklyn obsessive Harry Howes, has excavated worthy punk/garage/shitgaze lesser-knowns (including Eddy Current Suppression Ring and Pink Noise) on three- or four-song, limited-run seven-inches. The inaugural full-length gathers exclusive cuts from more prominent, scene-making groups. The result is a sort of (Jay) Reatard Nation manifesto, surveying a range of sounds bubbling up through the underground's fuzz- muck -- from Thee Oh Sees' rollicking psych to Times New Viking's cement-basement pop to Blank Dogs' warped semi-goth. A vital document of the lo-fi renaissance.
