Brooklyn Vegan write-up for Strange Pains’ new single!
Creative Writing is the latest musical endeavor from members of Huevos II, Luxor Rentals, Sore Eros, Jeanines, and Estrogen Highs. Formed in late 2023, the group builds upon their previous experiences with songs that buzz, roar, and chime in ways that anyone of any Gen X or otherwise, with an ear for indie guitars, would plead nolo to. Their self-released True 90s EP “served as a nod to the decade with a bit of a hangover from the late 80s college contingent holding on as well, swerving through SST, Homestead, and Matador catalogs like a shopping list,” according to online music zine Raven Sings The Blues. At the same time, principal songwriters Wes Nelson and Patrick Battleship avoid overly stylized genre exercises, crafting songs that are direct yet lyrically elliptical, tongue always firmly planted in cheek.
