…heavy helpings of dark psychedelics and Jesus And Mary Chain fuzz served up on the Raveonettes Lust Lust Lust (Stereogum). It’s more of the same from the Danish Duo. Well if it ain’t broke and all that…
Stumbled across Okkervil River on some blog or other. Got instantly drawn in by the awesome Black, one of my favourite tracks of the last couple of years – even though (or because) it deals with a dark subject!
The blurb states:
“spiked with dirty rock and roll, shimmering with white-hot pop, shimmying with girl group snap and shivering with epic ballads.” Exactly!
“… more self aware than Conor Oberst, more serious than Colin Meloy, more legible than Jeff Mangum… Will Sheff writes like a novelist!”
Well done to the Welsh today – crap first half but what a second half. Triple crown, grand slam or wooden spoon? Don’t over celebrate tonight.
