The Mantles - Burden 7" (2007)

The long-=awaited first single from San Francisco's best (and only) purveyors of drone-garage-pop. Four dirgey, dark, and catchy songs dug deep in a lovely slop of homemade reverb slop, heavy guitar, and fuzzed-out organ, all recorded brilliantly by our man (and new semi-permanent Mantles secret weapon) Drew Cramer. No one seems to agree on an adequate comparison, but maybe the Clean if they were into the Seeds instead of the Velvets?
