HONEY RADAR-Ruby Puff of Dust LP (What's Your Rupture?) Review

HONEY RADAR-Ruby Puff of Dust LP(What's Your Rupture) Philadelphia's Honey Radar's performance on this LP is an idiosyncratic and detailed yet lazy feeling psych indie. Heavy on the 60s British psych and maybe paisley underground. I would not be surprised if a review of this record shows up along side a Green Pajamas review in the latest Ptolemaic Terrascopic publication. Jason's got great disaffected vocals but melodic and pleasant as opposed to slightly unrevring disaffected of some stoner rock bands (I'm a fan of both). The drummer can maintain a good shuffle while the bassist drives the bus. There are funny moments in the production of this record for the keen listener. Highly recommeded!

BIG BLOOD 'Daughters Union' LP (Feeding Tube Records) review

Just when I think we've caught up musically with Big Blood they put out a record like this, proving that they remain, ahead of th' pack. One of th' most noticeable things about the beginning tracks on this record are the crazy rhythms, the band sounds like a recorded locked grove of some undistinguishable stringed instrument happy accident. Meanwhile a chorus of Colleen, the lead singer, walks the line between chain gang song and spiritual; a dance between sorrow and bliss, the human condition. Now hold up, that is only my impression of the first two songs. Other high points are the murkey and understated Spacemen take on a Troggs tune, the T Rex Slider stomp, 'All is Clear', that hugs the label, esoteric Patty Smith 'Easter' era vocal chants on 'Stars Sewn Into Our Skies' and some Nick Cave-like urgent and skeezey rhythms. Also, I hope that someday I hear 'On and On' blasting on the loud speakers while teenagers ride the Music Express at the beach. The B side of this album also features Big Blood's funnest cover since they did Vitamin C by Can. If you want more, hearing is believing, order this treat of an album immediately. Get schooled by the mighty Big Blood.
