We're really digging Witch's Paralyzed, out 3/18 on Tee Pee. This week's Drop, "Old Trap Mine," is the epic finale from that nine-song collection, which finds the Vermont/Western Mass crew expanding into heavier, sludgier, occasionally up-tempo punk-ish realms. The rhythm section of bassist Dave Sweetapple and drummer J Mascis is out of control (Deep Wound, yeah, but remember Upsidedown Cross?). Vocalist/guitarist Kyle Thomas and non-pictured guitarist Asa Irons, both also of folk crew Feathers, pack the jams with dense, airy psychedelic grooves and hooks. You can get a taste of all the aforementioned and find out what "Old Trap Line" has to do with Vipassana Meditation and Andrei Tarkovsky if you click here.
For the prize-giving portion of this week's 'Gum Drop, we offered the change to win a limited-edition Radiohead 4GB USB stick packed with the seven Parlophone albums. It's shaped like the Radiohead bear! Seriously...
