Are you having a hard time completing your captchas day in day out?
Is that little piece of hydrant in the next square making you nervous?
Am I robot or not?
Sounds familiar?
Well worry not!
This 7" offers you a multiple choice Turing Test to be sure of your humanity once and for all! Besides that it comes with 2 homerecorded slices of the LASSIE™ Group!
Our take: Two-song single from this band out of Leipzig, Germany. You might be tempted to throw Lassie in the egg punk basket, and while that wouldn’t be inappropriate, I think this single rises above also-ran status. While there are a million bands out there with tinny guitar sounds, budget synths, and jittery rhythms, Lassie has the hooks so many groups lack. That’s particularly true on “Temporary Cemetary,” whose title references both Paul McCartney’s cult proto-synth-punk track “Temporary Secretary” and the Ramones’ “Pet Semetary,” exactly the kind of nerdery I can get behind. The song’s chorus hook is epic, the kind of thing the a-side of a punk single was made for. Round it out with a solid b-side and beautiful packaging (multi-color risograph sleeve and insert with a witty and fun concept) and you have a single worth adding to your collection.
