It's hard to believe that Los Angeles art-punk duo No Age is just now about to release their first proper album (last year's fine Weirdo Rippers was actually a compilation culled from a series of vinyl-only EPs). "Eraser", the second track on their forthcoming Sub Pop debut Nouns, was just posted to the band's MySpace; it's a major highlight, and it also might be their most accessible song yet. Introduced with chiming acoustic guitar, an undercurrent of fuzz, and a bright tambourine, "Eraser" turns into a textbook example of the band's buoyant noise-pop aesthetic and then it's over before you know it. They know how to leave you wanting more, which is where the On Repeat part comes in. Thanks to Nathaniel Higgins for the tip.
