Parts and Labor

Vision of Repair and Brighter Days, from Mapmaker

Changing of the Guard, from Stay Afraid

Anything that, when it comes through on shuffle at work, causes my colleagues concern for my sanity is well worth posting about. Friends and labelmates^1,2,3 of Pterodactyl, Parts and Labor definitely make even more noise. My favorite tracks of theirs, especially from Mapmaker, not only have great energy but put great lyrics sung to catchy melodies over the earthquake-at-45rpm foundation. (Yes, a foundation that is like an earthquake. It works.)
