SIDE A was only getting us ready for the choice side, SIDE B: The album pushes further into its own strange terrain, part driving rhythm, part unraveling structure, all held together by sheer force of intent. This is where Re-Mit reveals its deeper layers, with tracks that stretch, collide, and refuse to settle. We unpack the tension, the momentum, and the sense that The Fall are still finding new angles, even this late in the game. Are you searching for the B-SIDES now?

Gather 'round mates, as we drop into Side A of Re-Mit (2013), where The Fall sound wiry, restless, and fully locked into their late-period stride. The grooves feel live, almost volatile, riffs snapping into place while Mark E. Smith delivers one of his most animated, unpredictable performances of this era. We dig into how this opening stretch blends propulsion with looseness, giving Re-Mit a raw, immediate edge. Are you searching for the B-SIDES now? Are you looking for the real thing, yeah?

[PATREON PREVIEW:] Random Record Club (#3): We drop the needle on Side A of Lick My Decals Off, Baby and step straight into Captain Beefheart’s fractured, razor-edged universe. Tighter and more stripped down than Trout Mask Replica but no less bewildering, these tracks snap, twist, and lurch with precision and purpose. We dig into the rhythms, the surreal lyricism, and the band’s almost telepathic interplay as Beefheart refines his controlled chaos into something lean, strange, and deeply addictive.

Side B of Ersatz GB leans deeper into its strange, synthetic groove, at times mechanical, at times oddly playful, but never predictable. This is where the album’s quirks fully emerge, with textures that feel both rigid and unstable. We unpack the back half’s uneasy rhythms, buried hooks, and the way The Fall continue to mutate without losing their core edge. Are you searching for the new episode now?
