UNPEELED
SINGLE OF THE MONTH
Meow Meow "Cracked" (Integrity) Spiffy cover, reliable
label, what could go wrong? As it happens, nothing. The off is
a deliriously scratched space halfway between radio stations on
the FM and it intros the shimmering, sideways sidle of the guitar
storm, "Cracked". A real find and Meow Meow are a gi-bleeding-normous,
big band, big sound, and have, God help them, really, no, really,
mum, something for everyone. Sly, n breathy vox, return of the
fucking ice-age blizzard of squalling guitars, a la Nectarine #9,
but sooo tightly controlled. Shit, bugger-fuck, another toon, "Not
Worth Recovering" rams the Walker Brothers so far up Metallica
in a late-period Beatles way it's unspeakably wonderful, dunno
who let the oboe in, but good work fellah. The last of these gems,
ha, we're rich, Martha, rich I tells ya, is "Nature Is A Machine" and
it wields a huge, fuck off riff like a pedant with a scalpel and
it is 'it'. This is the musical equal of spotting your missus's
arse across a crowded room, I am in love, you cannot play this
often or loud enough for me and as soon as I' ve got all that muck
cleaned out of my bollocks, I'm going to have their fierce, sharp,
evil, loud and groovy babies, alright! Stuff at the US label, Devil
In The Woods is found at www.devilinthewoods.com and there should
be stuff at the UK end as well now, www.integrityrecords.co.uk
We're also trying to get 'em over for some shows later in the year.
