Fuzzed out 90’s influenced indie rock will always have a special place in our heart and Oh Condor has just planted their flag there with “Bending Negative.” There’s a healthy Mascis/Barlow-ness going on here musically, with overdriven guitars riding above a loose groove that give it a decidedly slacker rock vibe, but vocally Oh Condor gives us a bit more verve and pep than is usually associated with that genre. It’s both familiar and fresh at the same time and reminds us that grunge was never a fad, it was just an evolution of the timelessness that is rock n roll.
