"The Beets are one of the most underappreciated bands in New York, especially since they should be riding high on the wavves of the whole 'lo-fi' thing. Their unison-singing style is more joyous than a sea of Reatards and their mucky 8-track recordings make Blank Dogs seem like Rick Rubin. But their exact brand of pop bliss is harder to pin down: It's somewhere between the Soft Boys-style rapture-pop, the Clean-style kiwi kraziness and the riot-folk of This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb. 'Don't Fit In My Head' is the lead track on a colorful 7-inch just released by Captured Tracks. The cover describes the track as 'A song about ideas, and using a drill and a couple M-80s to get them out' and comes equipped with appropriately brain-exploding cover art by official 'fourth member' Matthew Volz. The two-minute track it houses is equally explosive, if not with a bit of melancholy, trepidation and tape hiss." - Christopher Weingarten
