Dirty Beaches, “True Blue”

Perhaps you, like me, have slept on Dirty Beaches owing to the first part of their name, thinking that Dave Longstreth & co. should rightfully have some kind of lockdown on that particular adjective. OR, perhaps, like me, you have also fixated on the second part of their name, thinking “beaches” signified some more low-fi glo-core shiz. Well I (we) have been wrong! Dirty Beaches are some kind of genius David Lynch prom music scenario, and then something sinister happens, maybe at a racetrack, or a hotel, and the ghost of Elvis as played by Suicide’s Alan Vega haunts your ass, and it’s all great.
