SUMMARY:FEELS + SIT DOWN + GENE POOL
DESCRIPTION:Post Earth\, the second full-length album from Los Angeles’ m
 elodic noise punk quartet FEELS\, is a call to arms\, interspersed with fr
 ustration and hope.\nIt’s in the title track\, a riff-heavy dispatch fro
 m a near future when billionaires flee the dying Earth\, only to find thei
 r own comeuppance. It’s in the tuneful\, ’70s punk of opener Car and i
 ts dismissal of “one nation under fraud.” It’s in the jittery Find A
  Way\, which demands “Burn all the money\, all the flags\, all this stup
 id pride.” It’s in the entreaties to resist of Tollbooth: “the world
  needs you and you and you.”\n“It wasn’t intentional to write a poli
 tically charged record\,” says bassist Amy Allen\, who constitutes FEELS
  with Laena Geronimo (guitar/vocals)\, Shannon Lay (guitar/vocals)\, and M
 ichael Perry Rudes (drums). “But the way the world is functioning right 
 now made it impossible to write about anything else. We all need to figure
  it out\; we’re running out of time. The golden age is over.”\nMaybe F
 EELS did not start their second album with a conceptual agenda\, but they 
 definitely intended to speak out: “If you have any kind of platform\, yo
 u should use it for good\,” Lay states. Geronimo continues\, “If our w
 ildest dreams came true\, the album would sound exciting to people while a
 lso inspiring awareness and action against hate\, prejudice\, greed\, the 
 destruction of our environment…apathy's not cool and toppling oppression
  could be fun if we do it together!"\nFEELS do what they do thanks to a bo
 nd that stretches back to adolescence. Geronimo\, Allen\, and Rudes have k
 nown each other since high school\, when the Rudes’ garage served as the
  hangout and nexus for their musical projects. Rudes and Lay played in Ger
 onimo’s solo project\, Raw Geronimo\, for years before it morphed into F
 EELS with the addition of Allen. Their shared history makes for a rare che
 mistry among collaborators.\nAfter recording their 2016 eponymous debut 
 – which earned the band press attention from outlets including The FADER
 \, SPIN and The Los Angeles Times -- with Ty Segall in one marathon daylon
 g session\, FEELS decamped to Northern California in August 2017 for a com
 paratively luxurious eight days with Tim Green. The former guitarist of pu
 nk iconoclasts Nation of Ulysses\, Green has worked with Sleater-Kinney\, 
 Bikini Kill\, Joanna Newsom and Jawbreaker among others. “His studio was
  an ideal experience to be able to escape day-to-day tasks\, lock ourselve
 s away\, and focus\,” ruminates Rudes.\nPost Earth is out via Wichita Re
