Angry Angles’ Retrospective is a 17-song collection that comprises 100% of the studio recordings by the duo of Jay “Reatard” Lindsey and Alix Brown, one that came together shortly after the mid-2005 demise of Lindsey’s long-running Lost Sounds. The sheer immensity of Jay’s musical discography relative to the artist’s demise at the age of 29 in January of 2010 is an undeniably impressive attribute of his legacy. But this is unlike other examples of massive output-footprints built via an uncontrollable sink-or-swim necessity to retain a prolific profile at any cost. This is no sort of prolonged demo or practice session for what came next.

Sure, extraneous live documents reveal a handful of set items that would turn up on that landmark album, and there’s more than a passing riff or several heard amongst the songs collected here that would do the same. Ms. Brown herself even turned up handling on that album’s "I See You Standing There" and some vocals on "We Who Wait". But the album didn’t really “come next” at all. Angry Angles’ musical demise, at some point during the latter half of 2006, was a direct result of Brown and Lindsey’s demise romantically, but concurrent with the many previous months of activity and productivity was the writing and recording of Blood Visions.

It’s release in October of 2006 was to be followed closely by a proper studio full-length by Angry Angles, with the latter receiving heavier promotion. Well, whatever it says about…whatever, it can’t be denied that Jay + Alix was a hell of lot easier on the proverbial peepers in a marketing sense than “Jay + his whitey-tighties + pig’s blood”.

And unlike much of the man’s discography, this was not “The Jay Show” all the way. Brown wrote three of these tracks, the amazing “Apparent Transparent” as well as no-slouch “In My Room” and appropriately, “You Call It Love”. Overall, these songs are guitar-based noise-pop/punk (not “pop-punk”) certainly informed by the garage-rock/punk landscape that Jay was constantly and effortlessly schooling. There’s certainly outside influence but “the hook” is clearly the biggest concern at the end of the day.

Then there’s the five never-before-released songs if we’re talking generosity: An unreleased version of “Things Are Moving” (that kicks off the collection), a cover of the Oblivians’ “Memphis Creep”, and of arguably the most gravitas…three songs (the collection’s closing triad of “Can’t Do It Anymore”, “All the Same” and “Set in Stone”) that came out of a session (recorded by Chris Thief) when the band went to Montreal to perform and ultimately shelved by Jay solely based on the fact that they weren't recorded by Jay. Amongst the preceding 12 tracks, it should be mentioned, are four cover versions, and if it isn’t already a known rule with such a thing and the Jay Reatard discography as a whole, covers are a special thing and well beyond the “here’s something I want you to know I’m on board with!” gesture. We get A.A.’s treatment of Wire’s timeless piece of post-punk pop, “The 15th”, another end of the same basic era but no less hooky in the Urinals’ “Black Hole”, the proto-all-of-that greatness of Devo’s “Blockhead”, and a reorg of the Oblivians’ regional character assassination, “Memphis Creep”.

This retrospective is the result of nine months of work by the involved parties of Goner Records; co-founder and handler of band’s visual presentation, Alix Brown; Adam Shore, Jay's manager/archivist in life and beyond; Tour/sometimes studio drummer, Ryan Rousseau (then of Tokyo Electron and then and now the man responsible for the almighty Destruction Unit.)

A solo Project from Mexico City founded by Fernando Vaugier, with principal influences in the Post-Punk, ColdWave, electronic sounds and an extensive quantity of genres adapted to the expression of a dark and cold sound,  with the typical characteristic of sudden changes of sound from one track to another, Mementut takes the visualization of the politics as a subject matter, the wars and the religion in the mind of a human being with mental illnesses and / or psychological damages, an attachment to topics related to conditions like autism, sociopathy, psychopaty and the bipolarity, the love/hate towards the God's darkness,  the unstable meditation to reach the peace in a place without light or hope, the one that only the doomed individuals can perceive in their emotions, Mementut is a word of created by a combination between the words "Memento" (I remember - in Latin) and "Tot" (dead - in German) taking "Mímentut" as a pronunciation for spanish, slightly similarly referring the phrase "Memory of something dead " used as the first idea for his creator to refer to the last recollection or image that a person can have of before dying  in a former life, and like a second attempt to name that shaded emotion that only the lost souls can feel, the part "tut" (Tot) also takes as a reference the name of the Egyptian God, a relation and similarity exists also in certain ideologies with the term(end) "shade" used in the psychology and in turn polysemic in an adjective to mention a person with many strength after cruel feelings and experiences, being able to exist multiple examples as adjective in a phrase but the major one being able to be:
" You are Mementut,  you resist in front of  the fury of God "

Proyecto de la Ciudad de Mexico fundado por Fernando Vaugier, con principales influencias en el Post-Punk, ColdWave, sonidos electrónicos y una extensa cantidad de géneros adaptados a la expresión de un sonido oscuro y frío, teniendo como característica típica un posible cambio brusco en el sonido de un tema a otro, Mementut tiene como temática la visualización de la política, las guerras y la religion en la mente de un ser humano con enfermedades mentales y/o daños psicológicos, un apego a temas relacionados a condiciones como el autismo, la sociopatía, la psicopatía y la bipolaridad, el odio/amor a la oscuridad de Dios, la inestable meditación para alcanzar la paz en un lugar sin luz o esperanza y aquello que solo los individuos trágicos pueden percibir en sus emociones, Mementut es una palabra creada por una combinación entre las palabras ''Memento'' (recuerdo- en latín) y ''Tot'' (muerto- en Aleman) teniendo como pronunciación algo parecido a ''Mímentut'' haciendo referencia la frase ''Recuerdo de algo muerto'' usada como primera idea por su creador para referirse al ultimo recuerdo o imagen que una persona puede tener de antes de haber muerto en su vida pasada, y como segunda para intentar nombrar aquella sombría emoción que solo las almas perdidas pueden sentir, la parte ''tut'' (Tot) tambien tiene como referencia el nombre del Dios egipcio, existe tambien una relación y similitud en ciertas ideologías con el termino ''sombra'' utilizado en la psicología y a su vez polisémica en un adjetivo para mencionar a una persona con mucha fortaleza ante crueles sentimientos y vivencias, pudiendo existir múltiples ejemplos como adjetivo en una frase pero el mayor pudiendo ser:
''Tu eres Mementut, tu resistes ante la furia de Dios''
