Jay Reatard – Watch Me Fall was released 8/18/09 on Matador Records

I am new to the whole Jay Reatard thing. I was first turned on to him from my good buddy, theneedledrop. Watch Me Fall is a very very catchy garage rock with pop and punk elements thrown in. Jay is a very talented song writer. His songs are short, to the point, and did I say catchy? Drums are very old sounding, guitars are pretty twangy, and his vocal style is very unique. He also makes great use of organs, cellos, and more! I could of gotten more aggression and fuzz on the guitars but this was a pretty laid back, happy at times record.

8.5/10

   I listened to a little of his music before, but kind of dismissed it as being hipster, but I definitely recall it sounding very interesting. I intend to listen to more jay reatard and reassess my opinion. Nice review, I’m glad to see something a little off the radar on your channel.

   Yea, if you want more aggression, definitely check out Blood Visions, it was his 2nd to last album and it rocks so hard. And that’s not even his most aggressive work either. He did metal too just so you know, he released a track on his blog a while ago if you can dig back and find it of his old metal band.
