Download of the Week
“Undercover Wildflower” by Junglefowl
The first and only single from this Ypsi based fun ‘n’ fuzz duo out of Ypsilanti is, as they admit, reminiscent of something meshing the octave-pedal pushing blues riffs of the White Stripes with something sorts St. Vincent-y. They play the Blowout on Friday night at Paycheck’s.
