The Intelligence

With Rogers away having all the jollies in Iceland, I’ll be your host for the Daily MPFree, delivering something new every day to whet the appetite and fondle the naughty parts, much like what is happening in this picture:
The Intelligence are a Seattle-based fuzz-pop act who are, by modern standards, total over-achievers. Led by (and indeed before this record, consisting solely of) Lars Finberg, they’ve spent most of the last decade flying under the radar thanks to the prominence of side-projects (Finberg started out as the drummer for Sub Pop’s A Frames) and related acts (Thee Oh Sees/most of the In The Red roster). With new record ‘Males’ (their sixth in so many years, thundering past willing ears in a shade over 25 minutes) Finberg has constructed a gang who share his love of spiky garage-rock riffs, of which today’s track is the spikiest.
