Got the latest (and currently only) Smokers Die Younger single from Detail Recordings. Due to a delay in shipping, a few CD-Rs with other recordings of the band and pins were thrown in with the 7" I ordered. Woo.

Listening to it right after my afternoon commute was wonderful: First track of one of the CDs was "Bad Driving School," in which fast droning bass and drums lay the carpet under a dialoge of screaming "You cut me off!" versus "I'll fuck you up!" ending with "You cunt!" Whew. Remind me to not listen to this in the car.

The cut "I-Spy Dry Fear" is where I cranked my stereo to a militaristic drum beat, a simple keyboard line and vocalist Amy shouting the song title on the beat (which sounds like "Eins, Zwei, Drei, Vier!"). Then the chorus then later kicks my ass. Awesome.

The single "sdy" on the 7" is a nice treat. Not sure where to start describing it but I've listened to it 5 times now and going on 6. Listen to a sample at Detail Recordings.
