In my mind this is one of the very best bands playing today, they have got it covered, what they do is down to a fucking science. I love flipping past my 7"s and seeing 4 uniform records each one as good as(if not better than)the last. Condominium hail from Minneapolis and this would be their 4th record. The first two were self released and the other on Fashionable Idiots, this one was put out on Deer Healer.
On the A side we have the title track "Gag" a 7 minute mini opus that drags perfectly, and joins the likes of "Barricade" at the top of the list. The B-side has two more songs. "Redemption Song" is a short and steady song and though its good i dont think it can follow the title track. Finally "The entire human body" closes the album and is like Gag only an instrumental that seems to focus more on creating an atmosphere and it does so well.
Now i would love to say that this record was better then the last, since that seems to be the trend with this band but i feel even though the title track is amazing, as a whole the record seems to fall a little short. It is though by no means a bad record, as i said earlier this band is incredible and im sure you can expect nothing but quality from them in the future.
"Gag" was released by Deer Healer records, and i believe is still available there and at other distros as well. thank you and good night.
