Does anyone say boombox anymore (did they ever)? Lani I don’t like these tracks…sounds like a garage band recorded these from a boombox tape player. Does anyone say boombox anymore (did they ever)?

Like the Pitchfork review says, their songs aren't going to sell Volkswagons. I wonder though if they'll sell even themselves except to those (kids) who like them distinctly for their non commercial noisey-ness. I'd be curious to hear them clean as I think they might sound alright - maybe 'cleaner' would be better. This sounds less like home recording, lo-fi than purposeful dirty-ness and it just sounds bad. In order to get through the tracks I have to turn my headphones wayyyy down. A band that critics love (I mean, even Pitchfork likes them), but having
