New Small Black - "Kings Of Animals"

When premiering Small Black's "Bad Lover," we accompanied the MP3 with the catchy J&MC-echoing pop tune "Despicable Dogs," its Washed Out remix, and plenty of background information on the duo of ex-Slowlander Josh Kolenik and Ryan Heyner and their self-titled EP. Now Transparent's releasing a "Despicable Dogs" 7" that includes a new song, "Kings Of Animals." On the b-side "Kings" picks up the tempo a bit and manages to make me think of Conor Oberst fronting Guided By Voices for an elegiac end-of-the-night anthem.

I don't get the Guided By Voices comment...and why must there always comparisons to other bands...is everything that derived? I listened to their old Slowlands stuff and it seems like they are jumping on the pop-noise bandwagon!!!
