Death From Above 1979 - Heads Up EP


i really miss this band. i'm a big fan of bass/drum duos - nowadays there's many bands in that vein but DFA got in on the ground floor in my opinion. this was their first EP, definitely leaning way more towards the rock side of things as compared to their more well-known full-length which got a little too "dancey" at times. some of the tracks on it wound up on a few car commercials i think... you could kind of see where they were going since after that they broke up and one of the dudes went on to form MSTRKRFT. kind of a shame considering the guy made his bass sound like a howitzer of ass-shaking grooves.

put this shit on at your next party and prepare for high-fives.
