Tom Gallo is the host of Look At My Records! on Radio Free Brooklyn.
Brooklyn’s Sharkmuffin has always been the type of band to impress audiences with their raw energy, surrealist lyricism, and corrosive guitar work. Guitarist Tarra Theissen and bassist Natalie Kirch have been a Brooklyn staple for the better part of the last decade, utilizing the services of a rotating cast of drummers on two furious and fuzzy pop-oriented garage rock records, Charteruse and Tsuki.
Early this month the trio released their latest EP, Gamma Gardening, on Exploding in Sound Records, and it showcases the band’s continued sharpening of the signature elements of their sound while pushing themselves both lyrically and sonically. The EP is the first release to feature drummer Jordyn Blakely behind the kit, and with a solidified lineup, the trio has delivered their most cohesive and challenging work to date.
