Cosmonauts
"It's easy to look at Burger as the cassette label that puts out immediate, brightly colored music by wild characters like King Tuff, Peach Kelli Pop, and Nobunny. But that's not the case with this new track from Cosmonauts. "Shaker" is the album opener from Persona Non Grata (out August 20), the band's third LP since 2010. Instead of dealing in the label's archetypal garage/surf/power pop drive, the track showcases the band's ability to craft songs that are packed with atmosphere. The primary guitar melody here takes its time, stays relatively simplistic, and establishes a satisfying calm. The vibe is languid, and it backs a sentiment that's quietly restless and tormented. "I am 23 and there's nothing left of me," they sing after asserting lines like, "it's not my fault."
