Rubber Blanket- Our Fault
Our Fault, the sophomore album from Los Angeles' RUBBER BLANKET, thoroughly trounces the laziness cabal. It's 10 tunes beckon listeners to embark on a preternatural sojourn under the collective Blanket of Brad Eberhard, Lars Finberg, and Jun Ohnuki (survivors all of WOUNDED LION), three artists and composers, working together forever and then some. Before today, Rubber Blanket had never visited the racetrack in Santa Anita. They agreed to meet there for one specific reason: betting it all on a horse named Pepsi. They're in queue at the ticket window wearing matching Wall Of Voodoo shirts, which even they think is absurd. It's a $35 bet to show. They lose but vow to return. Unless there's literal goo-goo-gah-gah, the notion that Rockish Musics with discernable peculiarities must possess childlike predilections is shite nouveau, serving only to signal that the experimental market is not blonde enough to churn hype butter. This kind of trash-think ignores the existence of real wonderment,
