Girls Dreams

The Gotobeds shot by Shawn Brackbill

It’s unlikely that an album will be released this year with a better title than Blood // Sugar // Secs // Traffic. Odds are that a member of Pittsburg’s The Gotobeds came up with that four beers in and then just rolled with it. The Replacements would be so proud.

After dropping album opener “Real Maths/Too Much” at the back end of last month, we’ve now got the second track from the Sub Pop recruits’ second LP, “Brass Not Rash,” a catchy post­-punk gem that dips in and out of its own melody when it damn well sees fit. It comes off like a petulant nod to Les Savy Fav: shouty, affirmative and brainy.

So what does The Gotobeds’ Eli Kasan have to offer by way of insight into the track?

"I’m a short guy with stomach problems and the label made me dye my hair blonde; please buy my new mp3 'Brass Not Rash'.”

Thanks Eli! Listen to “Brass Not Rash” below, even though it probably doesn’t count as buying Eli’s band’s “new mp3.”
