The Ignorist came to me at a time when I’ve been going aggro on weights at the gym with Archers of Loaf’s "Vee Vee" as a soundtrack. So my ears were primed for an instant affinity with their slacker vibe and every-which-way skew of their guitars. The vocals never reach Bachmann-levels of agitation, but instead retain a slightly detached composure throughout their debut release, "There is No Vacancy." Below is "I Know They’re Blue," which should offer some consolation to anyone who misses 1994 (also, if you have ten minutes to invest, also check out "Hotel Ok," to hear how the track eventually dissolves around one guitar lick feeding on its own dejection.) The album is availabel via Cdbaby, iTunes and Google Play, although The Ignorist do not have any upcoming shows announced at the moment in case you wanted to get your sticky fingers around a physical copy from a physical band member. Keep an eye out for any changes to this situation at their Facebook page. -Terra James-Jura
