Description
Slovenly Recordings presents the debut full length tidal wave from Greece’s Acid Baby Jesus, simply titled, “LP” . ABJ represents the future of heavy psych’n’roll from an isolated, ancient civilization, and “LP” suggests the Rolling Stones at their wearied best, with the electrifying hi-jinks of Brian Eno bulldozing the swagger into the darkest corners of the cosmos. The deathly dirge “Homo Sapiens” claws forth with a twisted, underlying skronk, ending with the terrifying bacchanalia of a pack of disgruntled flying monkeys. Trance inducing lullabies crescendo into fully erupting cacophonies of feedback & distortion. Girl-group icons The Shangri-Las are channeled in the dark-pop gallop of “I’m A Baby.” “Tooth To Toe,” with its exotic, percussive clank & uplifting glitter hook juxtaposes brilliantly with its lyrical ode to post-tour poverty. Dynamics play equally as heavy a role as their expert songwriting, and a flawless production job by John Vulgaris rounds this album out with a fresh level of psycho-sonic Alex Chilton-esque throb, peppered with lazy Hazelwood-isms.
