Pre-orders are up for the new Whatever Brains single, their best offering yet. We’re excited to be a part of this co-release with Sorry State Records, who, by the way, just posted up pre-orders for their newest LP by Double Negative (go look at this thing, so shiny). If you haven’t heard the Brains yet, “you must live under a rock.” “get outta town!” “takes one to know one!” I’ve been up since 5:30 AM.

Jeff Byers says: “Four months since the release of “Nesting,” the Whatever Brains return with their fourth single, “Rapper Delight II”. The Brains pump the brakes on this one, slowing the tempos down for two-thirds of the single without losing any of their lo-fi garage-rockish intensity.“What Makes a Man Make ‘What Makes a Man Start Fires’” and “Rappers Delight II” are destined to be classic porch jammers this season waiting for the charcoal to light up. The single offers Raleigh’s Brains production value and reverb levels at their best as they definitely “stepped up their game.” Perfectly jangly when needed, the single is the perfect compendium to staying awake well beyond the point of reason. Just remember it’s not passing out if it’s in your own bed.”
