Album You Should Own By Now - Black Kids

Black Kids - Partie Traumatic

You may or may not have heard of the Black Kids, but if you have its mostly how Pitchfork threw them under the bus. Pitchfork hyped the crap out of the Black Kids for months and months before their debut album came out, Partie Traumatic. Then once the album came out Pitchfork gave the album a 3.3/10 and the review consisted of no words. It was just a picture of two sad looking dogs with the words "Sorry :-/" written on top of the pix. You can see the "review" HERE.

I heard about the Pitchfork review and decided to check out the album. How bad could it be? Honestly? It's pretty awesome. The Black Kids have a very unique/retro '80's sound. If you want a fun album to rock out to this summer, try Partie Traumatic.

The album only has one or two weak tracks but the rest are all great. Here are two of my favorites:
