Perfection can be overrated. Sometimes it's the wrong turns and the rough edges that make life interesting. A conclusion reached by members of San Fran Smiths-fanatics
Magic Bullets, who decided to take a break from making shimmery indie pop songs and formed
Terry Malts to explore something more earthy and direct.
Tumble Down is an excellent advert for their manifesto of simple, dirty rock 'n' roll. Firstly it sounds like it was recorded down a mine shaft, such is its ramshackle clattering, but with Corey Cunningham's guitar occasionally bursting through the mix with a few tearing riffs and Phil Benson crooning somewhere in the mid-distance. It's like
Surfer Blood if they'd spent all of their cash on cheap speed and been kicked out of their nice studio. And how can that not be a good thing?
