Austin-based White Denim is pretty much awesome. This was the first album I listened to this year (released last year) that truly excited me, and it took me twelve straight listens to finally feel like I had over-saturated myself on it. The best way I can describe it is to steal a comment I read elsewhere on the internet: Fits sounds as if the greatest, most talented garage band in the world showed up at your house, set up all their gear in your garage, and all in one take recorded an entirely improvised album right then and there.

They'll rock your face off. In the first two tracks they are all over the place, at one point pretty much shredding a sick ass riff on a sitar, or at least on something that sounds a lot like a sitar. Since I don't know shit about music I can't really say for sure, but I do know one thing: it is pretty much awesome. The song Sex Prayer descends into a lovely stoney groove. El Hard Attack DCWYW pounds your face off. Regina Holding Hands makes you feel totally blissful.

In short, it seems like White Denim can do just about anything they put their mind to, and do it well. This is an album to check out just to see how one band manages to cover so many different styles all on one record without it being overwhelming or annoying. There's at least five tracks on this album that belong in your shuffle for sure. Blah blah blah.
