“”Deleted Scenes’ recent album, Birdseed Shirt, often sounds as if it’s been gently glazed with cold medication, but that doesn’t mean it’s creatively sluggish. All that fine-tuned, morose reverb and space opens up on a band that has enough subtle craft to explore everything from its mopey side (“Get Your Shit Together For The Holidays”) to psych-rock aggression (“Mortal Sin”).”

“It’s been five years since we last heard from Washington, D.C.’s Medications. Devin Ocampo and Chad Molter formed the band from the ashes of Faraquet, and on the group’s debut EP and first LP, there was a clear tension between the knotty, agile post-punk of their former group and a more pop-informed tendency. Five years later, drummer Andrew Becker has moved on, and that more melodic side of the band has won out. Perhaps having to cover the drums as well as the guitar and bass put the remaining duo in a more studio-oriented frame of mind, but whatever the reason, there’s more layering here, and a much greater focus on tunes, resulting in the band’s best album.”
