Sego

Wicket Youth EP

9/10

Sego came out of nowhere. With one fucking single that bugged me so hard I could do nothing but listen to the shit out of it constantly. But then I got the EP, named after the aforementioned single, and now I'm a listless, neon bicycle hat wearing, I have no intention of leaving my parents' basement bro, bro.

There's this disinterested sass going on with these guys and it's both magnetically fucking cool and so fucking not trendy I'm afraid it will become trendy.

AND THEN WHAT WILL I HAVE LEFT TO FINGER?

Sego feel like an electro-dipped version of Elle Milano but with even LONGER bangs and even LESS leather. At one point I thought I was hearing an all MDMA version of Sonic Youth. I mean, what the Fuck? Is this Beck armed with a princess mirror and a shitload of fake lashes and full bodied mascara? There are so many potential sound-closes that I'm almost certain that the harder I try and hole these guys with a pigeon the farther and farther I'll get from even partially accurate.

The rhythmic sass Sego flings all over this brief 16 minute long EP is something I have only been able to respond to by bouncing on both feet while my head flails back and forf, to and fro, fro and forf, back and to. For some reason I get the idea that this band is intentionally dumbing down these incredibly and intricately addicting tracks for a wider audience. But those of us with a small sense of musicality will be quick to point out (with our musical erections) how gorgeous some of this shit is.

I have thrice been the guy who, with his hands held out in a T, screams "ENGINEER AMNESIA" in the gluten free aisle of my local grocery store bro. Every single time that's happened, all I can imagine is that luscious synth wave just rinsing off all of the animal dander and down feathers from my skin. I pay no attention to your looks of confusions.

Frealdo, 60% of these songs are already in my "QUITE POSS LE BEST TRACKS OF 2014" playlist bro, AND THAT PLAYLIST IS LIKE CORDONED OFF WITH MAROON VELVET ROPES BROPES.

I don't know what else this band has in the pipe, but whatever it is, I'm ready for it to blow. So that I. May blow.

BRO, I AM SO READY FOR ALL OF THAT WHICH WILL BLOW, BRO.
