The Rentals – Translator

The Rentals, or rather The Band Of That Guy Who Was In Weezer, seem to be alive once again. Eight years after their second and seemingly last album, Seven More Minutes, the band have released a new EP. It may seem a little odd to be writing about that release when I haven’t heard it, but I couldn’t resist posting this gem. Translator is a song that was cut from the all over the place Seven More Minutes, and is the epitome of everything that made their first album great. A nice usage of Moog, swirling male-female melodies and just the right amount of distortion. Which begs the question as to why it was left off of the album, given the some of the dreck that did make it on.
