Free Music Review: Pass me some o' that Wingbone
Hit: 5 Stars
Having picked up the latest release from these guys recently, and not having listened to them before, I am pretty floored. I guess I had them mixed up with Calexico or something (stupid me), which couldn?t have gotten me more off track when I prepared to listen to them the first time. This band is absolutely amazing, taking pages from the alt-country playbook and mixing in psychedelic bluesy noise, and calling the occasional funky groove audible. Take ?2 Sisters Drunk on Each Other?? its like a P Funk cover band is laying it down in the back room with the throaty Layne Staley singing. Man, does it ever sound sweet. The panoramic title track is an album highlight and one of the best songs. It twists you up, pushes you down and around, and springs you like a jack in the box over the course of its fifteen minute expanse. Please pass some of that alt-country feelin? stuff? Here you go, try ?Wingbone?, what might have been had we somehow managed to splice together some Sam Beam and Beck?s great underground K release ?One Foot in the Grave?. And, oh, the sweet psychedelic outro, drizzling screeching guitar break offs over some sort of weird sound that might have once been a seventies sit com but reversed and reverb?d. Mostly though, I?m struck by and forced to compare this release to Beck? the singer often sounds very similar and the eclectic song structures make it unavoidable. Don?t take that as a cut, it?s just an undeniable influence. This band has much more of a jam-band feel than the studio concoctions of the aforementioned songster.
