DURR  - "Scream" (self-released) Hey, look! The first rap we've ever covered! Technically, I heard about "Scream," DURR's new track, because Lucas is also the vocalist/guitarist of local punk heroes Pierre . But here we are anyway - I'm excited! The only throughline connecting the two projects is their natural velocity. DURR tears through a vicious beat that's half 90's boom-bap sample and half skittering high-hats. All it takes is these two elements, tossed into a blender, to make a crunchy, booming beat to flow over. A DURR in motion tends to stay in motion, and he ca$ual ly spits menacing bar after bar, line after line. If you could inject music directly into your bloodstream, "Scream" would give you enough energy to run for miles. "Scream" will (presumably) appear on CAPSAICIN , the album DURR is releasing tomorrow. The Personas - "Picture Show" (self-released) Sometimes a song is just good...
