Falling somewhere in between the hazy psyche vibe of The Brian Jonestown Massacre and the experimentation of Throbbing Gristle, Ruiz!’s “Stupid Old Git” is as weird as it is catchy. The one-man project from Sheffield uses glitchy organ patches and fuzzed-out guitar lines giving “Stupid Old Git” a dusty, vintage quality as Ruiz’s DIY electro-new wave vocals chew the scenery. Coming with “Stupid Old Git” is a montaged music video of archival film footage of Europe and England in the ’70s. The message of the song is clear; don’t be stuck in your old ways.
“Stupid Old Git is about a stupid old git I once knew. There’s therapy in so many places, you just need to know where to look,” Ruiz! says.
