SURELY YOU KNOW ABOUT PINK AND BROWN? A GUITAR/DRUMS DUO (YES ANOTHER) WHO ARE PALS OF LIGHTNING BOLT AND NOW MORE FAMOUS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT AS "PINK" ON GUITAR IS JOHN DWYER. DRUMS (BROWN) IS NO SLOUCH IN THE BACK EITHER. HIS NAME IS JEFF ROSENBERG AND HAS DONE A TON OF GOOD STUFF INCLUDING TENURE IN TARENTEL.
PINK AND BROWN'S SIDE FAIRLY RIPS. BAGS OF ENERGY, NICE RECORDING, COOL SEPARATION BETWEEN TREBLY MELODY AND LOW END THUMP. THE TELEPHONE MICROPHONE VOCALS MAYBE DON'T FEEL AS COOL TO ME AS THEY DID BACK THEN (+ HE DID THIS IN COACHWHIPS AND POSSIBLY OTHER PROJECTS AROUND THIS TIME OF WHICH HE HAD 100000000S (NO EXAGGERATION)). WHAT I LIKE IS HOW THEY VEER OFF GARAGE ROCK PREDICTABILITY BY EMBRACING DISCORDANCE AND IMPERFECTION. GOOD WORK.
DEATH DRUG ARE SOME MEMBERS OF LE SHOK BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHICH ONES. NOR DO I KNOW MUCH ABOUT LE SHOK OTHER THAN THEY'RE AN LA COUNTY BAND. THEY TAKE ALL OF SIDE 2 HERE AND IT IS A SLIGHTLY WEIRD ONE. THE BAND VAMP OVER AN RNB RHYTHM. IT'S ALMOST LIKE EXTEMPORANEOUS DIALOGUE FROM A FILM OCCURING OVER A SCENE IN A CLUB. NOT BAD BUT NOT GREAT EITHER. IT DOESN'T FEEL VERY LOAD RECORDS BUT WHO AM I TO JUDGE (HANG ON I AM A FUCKING CRITIC, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MUSIC).
ANYWAY DEATH DRUG DID NOTHING OTHER THAN THIS ONE THING. WHAT IS THE POINT? DON'T WRITE IN TO TELL ME.
