I've just posted two reviews at Optical Atlas by two new bands with impressive debuts: Ideal Free Distribution and Dark Meat. Lexington's Ideal Free Distribution, led by Craig Morris, Tony Miller, and Eric Griffy, is a throwback psychedelic pop band highly recommended to fans of The Apples in Stereo (Robert Schneider mixed the album, and members of the IFD contribute to New Magnetic Wonder), Casper and the Cookies, and Great Lakes. Dark Meat couldn't be more different. The Athens supergroup mixes blues and punk into a soaring sound with a caffeine kick. Their album has just been released on Orange Twin Records, while IFD's is due out in January on Happy Happy Birthday to Me.
