New Music Tuesday: Blunt Mechanic

If I had to give you one CD to check out today, it would definitely be World Record by Blunt Mechanic. (Feel free to check out the list of a bunch of CDs coming out this April in "Hello April!," but if you're a fan of Kind of Like Spitting, well read on.)

Ben Barnett, who has released eight albums, six singles, and five splits as Kind of Like Spitting over the past decade, has a new band: Blunt Mechanic.

And Ruined By MTV has an exclusive! You can download "Aluminum and Light" below for a taste of the new album.
