Scrappy Midwestern indie-rock finds its truest champion today in Lizard Brain Trust and their off-kilter single “Dumb Ghost.”
Drawing inspiration from the crooked, idiosyncratic song structures popularized by Guided By Voices and Sebadoh, the group place character and personality far ahead of sterile studio gloss. The guitars crackle with tape hiss and genuine heart.
