A brilliant second album following 2021’s Projector by the Brooklyn indie-rock quintet, packed with thunderous rocky, bluesy psychedelic grooves, retro yet fresh, stop-start rhythms, and charismatic deep-voiced delivery of Cameron Winter. With super-producer James Ford at the controls and recently supporting Jack White, they are rapidly on the rise as a hot ticket of talent. Highlights here include the Armageddon-type visions of 2122, the gospel voice-backed title track, the catchy toe-tapper Cowboy Nudes, the meltdown effect of Undoer, the wild, fierce, restless Mysterious Love, the Bowie-ish dark-ages-themed Crusades, the soulful I See Myself (with echoes of the band Ween), the 70s see-saw rock-pop of Gravity Blues, and the elegiac piano of closing track St. Elmo. Wild, stormy and also intimate, it’s a dynamic record of energy, power and many contrasting but coherent dimensions. Out on Partisan Records / Play It Again Sam.
