Visqueen, Message to Garcia

Visqueen, MESSAGE TO GARCIA (Local 638 Records)
Visqueen leader Rachel Flotard’s musical ode to her late father is neither maudlin nor overly sentimental, but a raucous, smart slab of inspired ebullience. A peppery balance of hooks and sometimes startling nuance, this quantum leap forward for the Seattle band is easily my favorite record of the year.
