We, again, are blown away by Rust Magazine's end of the year roundup!
CRITIC'S CHOICE AWARD: MAKAR'S FUNERAL GENIUS
Husband and wife team Andrea DeAngelis and Mark Purnell are joined by Mark Nilges and Dawn McGrath on this indie-rock masterpiece. Mixing poetry, piano, rock, rebellion and a good whiff of their NYC home streets, the result is hands-down the ultimate hipster album. Irreverent and absurd at times, at others biting and witty, there's something a little "off" about MAKAR, but that's what makes them so perfect. They're a little flaky, and a little kooky, but before you know it, they've just kicked your ass with a previously-unimaginably tight series of ideas and phrases that leave your head spinning while trying to catch up with what they're saying next. If you don't remember to pick up this album right now, that's ok, you'll be hearing about it for years as other bands point to it as inspiration.
