ERASE ERRATA – “Damaged”/”Ouija Boarding”

One of the more interesting evens in the past year of so is the return of Erase Errata to the underground music scene after a long hiatus.  Thus, the moment we learned of this single we knew that we had to check it out. “Damaged” is a moody danceable track where a simmering midtempo groove meets a blend of catch rock hooks and ethereal atmospherics to great delight.  On the flip side, “Ouija Boarding” is a bass fueled aural trip that walks a fine line between introspection, dissonance, and pure groove.  Both tracks draw from ‘80s dance rock but places their spin on the sound.  I’ve been meaning to really get to this for a long time now and I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner.  Sorry it took me so long but I know that if you’re interested in catchy danceable indie rock that proves that a good groove isn’t necessarily exclusive to what good underground rock is.  Get this, if you haven’t done so already.  (BOONE)
