Hit: 4 Stars
Aussie band Wolfmother are on the rise right now, with their retro hard-rock blend that is equal parts Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. And their "Dimension" EP is a good introduction to their hard-rockin' music, with two extra songs and a pair of live videos.
It opens with an earsplitting yell, and if you're not expecting it, it's sure to make you sit up and listen. It's followed by a crunchy, murky mass of hard rock with an otherworldly edge. After getting lost in the desert, "I had to write something down/And I found myself alone, and then I let go of everything/Into another DI-MEN-SION!" Andrew Stockdale hollers.
It's followed by "Mind's Eye," a steady, panoramic rock number with moments of quiet, as if the band has just barely managed to rein in their music. After that, we get a couple of songs not on their forthcoming album: the fuzzy, bouncy bass-rocker "Love Train," and the spacey, proggy "The Earth's Rotation Around the Sun." Well, with a name like that, it either has to be spacey and proggy, or by the Flaming Lips.
As an added bonus, the EP contains two live performance videos. One is a shakycam of the guys performing "Dimension," which flickers between stark black-and-white and a murky color. Then there is the performance of "Mind's Eye" at the Devil's Punchbowl. As the guys perform, we see clips of them driving up and exploring the desert.
Let's get this over with -- yes, Wolfmother has a lot of bands influencing them, including Sabbath, Zeppelin, and a few other older hard-rock bands. But Wolfmother has the ballsy attitude to carry it off. They don't just have influences, they proudly wear them on their shirts.
Andrew Stockdale's vocals seem more in key with the music in this EP, as compared to Wolfmother's self-titled EP. His shivery, rip-roar vocals rise above even the loudest riffs. And the riffs do get loud -- they're dirty, crunchy, and wonderfully powerful. The last song just sort of meanders and peters out, and it doesn't work very well. But those other three songs -- and the videos -- are enough to get your pulse racing.
Wolfmother show even more of their promise in the "Dimension" EP, and is kinetic and solid enough to make people run for their self-titled debut. Rough and raw.
