Dollar Store - Dollar Store - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Plying the choppy sonic waves between the best aspects of the insurgent country ghetto and the vaunted Chicago noise guitar scene is the gritty sophomore outing by Chicago's Dollar Store. Fronted by Waco Brother Dean InchDeanoInch Schlabowske, Dollar Store takes rootsy chord progressions and slathers them with textures, volume and loose, angular noise to make them thick and heavy in the finest indie rock and roll sense.

The album was recorded in two days and sounds like what the sessions were - four guys, thoroughly enjoying themselves, pushing tempos and volume levels along the way.

Through several years of crate digging it surprised me how many songs I loved were recorded in this city, for example one of my favourites is this great little song by The Natural Four, produced by Leroy Hutson 'Can This Be Real', and released via Curtom Records.Inch The band started in 2016 after multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Mathew Ajjarapu dropped out of med school and found himself unemployed and drifting. Listening to music constantly at the time, he found inspired to put a band together and create his own music. Pairing up with some of the best musicians Chicago has to offer, he founded The Devonns the rhythm duty is entrusted to Khalyle Hagood (bass), Ari Lindo (guitar) and Khori Wilson (drums). Originally he wanted to focus on 50s style doo-wop, similar to The Flamingos; rich in reverb and vocal harmonies, but in the first initial practise
