car commercials Eric's Diary (LP, £15.75)

Car Commericals are generally uncomfortable; probably shifty-eyed loners that barely leave the basement. Their brand of strictly personal suburban ooze was born deep within the recesses of New Jersey, just east of I-95. More specifically, this music springs from inside that unspeakable zone deep within the mind where feelings get very messy. Eric's Diary is their second LP release, following the Judy's Dust LP from early 2008. Those confounded by Judy's Dust will be pleased to know that Eric's Diary is where things get...weird. Breathe deep and prepare to scratch your head faster than you can say 'Home Blitz.' Limited edition of 200 with full colour paste-on sleeves.
