Who: Retribution Gospel Choir from Duluth, Minnesota.

What: Coming off the heels of a successful 2008 self-titled release on a label run by Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon), weve now got a new record from Sub Pop signee Retribution Gospel Choir. Having grown their profile through extensive touring (with Wilco and the Meat Puppets) and international festivals (Primavera Sound, All Tomorrows Parties UK), the new album (2)is raw and technologically perverse, visceral and shiny. Inventive pop songs colliding with heavy guitar chaos.

Song: Hide It Away. This song is chalk full of energy.
