Nots – Cosmetic (Goner Records)

by Andrew Duncan -

The Nots put on their make up for Cosmetic The mustiness on solid concrete penetrated by the sheen of dampness. The humidity bending notes out of tune. The throbbing of a drum beat pointed to full throttle. Make-up smeared. That is if we all even gave a shit. The Nots only
