The Minus 5 – Oar On, Penelope (Yep Roc) (13th Floor Album Review)
If the end of the world had a jukebox, The Minus 5 would be the house band, playing literate songs loudly, and barely holding it together in the way only seasoned musicians can do well. Their latest release, Oar On, Penelope, is a full-throttle collage of garage rock squall, surreal Americana, and barbed-wire wit.
