Shipshape 3:08 — 10. To Be a Branch Davidian 3:38 — — — — — After years of touring and recording, still falling short of finding a truly unique and singular voice, the boys in Modern Skirts discovered something startlingly fresh in singer Jay Gulley’s bedroom recordings and immediately began work on their self-approached and self-produced third record, using these demos as a template. ===== “Gramahawk” reintroduces Modern Skirts as a band honest to their musical tastes and to their desire to create and perform both intellectually crafted and inherently catchy songs. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the record, though, is the insight into Gulley’s dark, imaginative and humorous brain. There is a gleeful and twisted pop evil afoot here.
