With lead guitarist and vocalist Natalie Hoffman, Nots blends post-punk with indie beats to create a composition that is pretty fun to listen to. While this album doesn\u2019t come to mind when finding something to study with or to show your friends, it is very effective at creating a fun environment, plus props to the album artwork. Hoffman tends to yell and moan into the mic in a way that portrays every emotion an angsty post-punk lover would feel in their parents\u2019 basement, but in a good way.<\/p>\n<p>Cosmetic is a good attempt at creating an indie post-punk sound that a normal Memphis group wouldn\u2019t dare to create, which is why this album deserves a listen.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Ex-Cult, Coathangers, White Lung<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 3 (Cold Line), 5 (Cosmetic), 7 (Inherently Low)<br \/>\nDo Not Play: None<br \/>\nWritten by Cole Francis on 10\/06\/2016 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Portrays every emotion an angsty post-punk lover would feel in their parents\u2019 basement, but in a good way<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[181],"tags":[5286,5694,5693],"class_list":["post-50672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-rock-rotation","tag-cole-francis","tag-cosmetic","tag-nots"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50672"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50672\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
