"so the finally part of saturday’s rum trilogy. two fellas. twelve songs. one free record. woozy viper: a good name to roll around the mouth and one that positively drips off the tongue.
hard for me not to dig this given it’s nods to the velvets, stones, stooges, femmes. total mucky sixties garage vibe with bits o’ blooze chucked in like some miniature exile on main street. creeping skeletal blues inflections aside, it’s sparse and to the point, no fucking around rock and roll. simple. basic. all played with a scruffy skuzzy swagger. and there ain’t a goddam thing wrong with that.
as opening lines go ‘i got graveyard dirt in my mouth’ is a pretty good one. but the highlight for me is the shuffling two chord fuzz of king kong and it’s amusing giant-monkey film / sexual politics metaphor: “he didn’t give a shit until some girl messed with his head and he wound up dead”.
indeed."
