Add Date: October 5
Artist: The Vita Ruins
Album: A Day Without a Name
Label: Self-released
Genre: Rock
Comments: The D.C. band The Vita Ruins combine elements of post-punk, Spector-esque walls of noise, New Wave and shoegaze into a potent musical stew on A Day Without a Name. I feel like this type of sound peaked about four or five years ago with acts like VHS or Beta (for whom The Vita Ruins have opened) and The Moving Units, but there's enough going on here to keep it interesting in 2010. And heck, I'm always a sucker for guitar effects and atmospheric electronic flourishes, and there are certainly plenty of those on this LP.
Check out "The Purpose of Life" and "Coffin Dodgers."
