DAG-B

5/19/1981

The Get Quick have never shied away from the obtuse approach or, to put it bluntly, never blinked before a headfirst charge into obscurity. So DAG-B (named after the session engineer’s jibe at the band’s seemingly common chord progressions) comes as a bit of a surprise, with its straightforward narrative songs and uncluttered production. Glistening acoustic strumming and glam fuzz guitar harmonies! A crisp lockstep rhythm section! Lyrics a layman can grasp!

The Get Quick have given us a pop album! Put your sunglasses on and crack a cool black Cherry Coke.
