The first song I heard by Unknown Relatives was called "New" - ironic, considering that it sounds like a dead ringer for song you'd find hidden in one of those Nuggets compilations of long-lost '60s garage gems. It's all bopping guitar and bouncy rhythms, with cute little stop-start dynamics that pull you in and make you oddly invested in a song that's just a little over a minute and a half long. Getting in and out with as much punch as possible seems to be the M.O. of Unknown Relatives. There's not a whole lot to separate them from the barrage of garage revivalists these days, but when a style is done right (even if it might be overdone as of this point, in my opinion), it's worth taking notice.
