Gob Psychic “(All Week) Rent Payer” 2023. Slovenly Recordings, limited edition yellow vinyl. Danish garage punk, not their first release but looks like their first vinyl release, a 3-song EP 7-inch. Don’t let the swirly pastel cover art fool you, this is energetic and buzzy high octane rock-n-roll. The lead/title track “(All Week) Rent Payer” leads off with a decidedly 70’s UK punk/Damned riff and blasts into stilted and angular rhythms that back angry vocals. “Content Moderator” has a more 80’s US west coast punk flavor: darker, also angry. “Dead Intruder” has a bit of a wacky, new wave sound that leads it off but then it goes into balls-to-the-wall relentless garage punk sound with gasping vocals (literally, at one point the singer says “I can’t breathe”). I don’t know anything about Gob Psychic beyond their bio on Bandcamp (they are Danish and inspired by both Aussie and Midwestern punk – I think that might be a Devo reference based on the wacky new wave sounds I noted above); it looks like the did a small West European tour last fall but they haven’t released anything since 2023.
