The Nude Party – The Nude Party

I missed this release when it came out 2018. I recently heard “Chevrolet Van” on The Current and it grabbed me, I was an instant fan. The song pokes fun at being a young rocker:

Got some free advice the other day

From an older relative of mine

He said, I dig what you do

But I think you’re wasting your time

Cause driving around, getting drunk with your friends in a van every night

Sounds like a lotta fun, but you need a plan B, cause it ain’t gonna last long past twenty-one

I dialed up the album on Spotify and was blown away – the whole album is great. It is pure joyous garage rock. It is the perfect hybrid of The Velvet Underground, Television, The Rolling Stones, Gram Parsons and a dash of Quentin Tarantino.

The LP is a quality pressing in orange vinyl with a bonus 45.

If I had discovered this LP in 2018, it would have placed on the upper end of my best of 2018.
