I’MIMPRESSED WITH IREPRESS

I’ve never been particularly taken by Irepress before. I’ve got nothing against them at all, don’t think they suck, certainly wouldn’t wish van flips upon them… their music just never really resonated with me. But at the urging of self-proclaimed “Suckist” Dan Wolfson I checked out their new music video for the song “Cyette Phiur” and I’m quite glad I did. Their music is heavy, haunting and intricate in much the same way as bands like Rosetta and East of the Wall, but perhaps a touch less aggression than either of those bands. This newest jam seems just a bit more focused and clear than what I remember thinking of their music in the past, though that could just be revisionist history.

I’d love to smoke a doob and watch these guys these play an intimate club show sometime soon.
