In an effort to prevent this string from veering too far down the rabbit hole of 1978, I was determined to volley back a track from another decade without fracturing the flow of the mix. I scoured long a hard for a track that captured the clangy frenetic nature of Lipstick Vogue and the vocal melody of the Soft Boys. With that I give you the Volcano Suns, born from the ashes of Mission of Burma. They are a noisy-ass congregation, but much like Burma never fail to imbue their songs with the perfect amount of melody, bravado, and experimentation. White Elephant should have you humming.
