This is straight poison. Like one of those Lifetime movies where the suburban kids are huffing pens or paint thinner in their parents basement, The Delta Mirror's "He Was Worse Than Needle He Gave You" is one part depressing and two parts riveting. Distant atmospherics and lo-fi, packaged drums create a catchy, hook-filled slow-grind, like a fully-rendered Casiotone For The Painfully Alone. The central lyric, "goddamn, I've got too much time on my hands" is as listless and crushing as an unmanned and apathetic oil tanker sliding into the side of a coastal city. At the 3-minute mark, with a shrug and an emotionless expression, the band finds a second movement in the fuzz. It is moving, even if the point is to just drift.Listen :: Delta Mirror - "He Was Worse Than The Needle He Gave You"
