These are the tools Pardoner have used for over a decade to chisel their \"slacker\" tunes. On their 5th LP, Target Practice, they continue to refine their approach in search of a Heavenly Pop Hit ™. Sensing a cultural slide back into math-rock and prog, this is their most straight ahead record yet. Absent are the surprise blast beats and scene changes that were hallmarks of Came Down Different (2021) and Peace Loving People (2023). 10 concise songs, tinged with playful meanness and satire, remain. It's hard not to be a black-pilled doomer amidst the antagonistic forces in the world. The band's attacks on faux-intellectual high art and peers in the scene, however, are not without self-critique. \"Driving across the country \/\/Preaching bulls*t gospel\" is half-sung amidst jangly guitar on the lead single \"Twisted.\" Target Practice is a modern, fizzier take on 80s\/90s college rock. Flying Nun, Smudge, and the noisier side of Yo La Tengo are all spiritually present. Digging deeper, the single, \"Don't Slouch,\" is an attempted, xanax-ified Blessed Virgins song. Before their heart-on-sleeve album closer, \"Changing Mags\" the band covers Nuggets adjacent The Barracudas, whose lyrics perfectly encapsulate Target Practice, \"I'm not imagining this, I see the signs. We're living in violent times.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 1.5em;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eTRACKS:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Canary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e Ashes All Around\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Crazy Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e Don't Slouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e Twisted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e Target Practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e Crop Circle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e Au Contraire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e9\u003c\/span\u003e Performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e10\u003c\/span\u003e We're Living in Violent Times\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e11\u003c\/span\u003e Changing Mags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long will shipping take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem is In Stock\/Inbound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem is on Pre-Order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem is on Backorder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrders will ship within 1 day of being available\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrders will ship near or on release date, as they are checked in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrders will ship as they become available, and may take 2-12 weeks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Pardoner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48234085384350,"sku":"032862033810","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/8321\/8590\/files\/image_99c0e28d-61e2-44f7-8dda-2b3974900b05.jpg?v=1788491366","url":"https:\/\/soundslikevinyl.com\/products\/fish-narc-uncle-vinyl-lp-copy","provider":"SoundsLikeVinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
