Much respect to Chris Freeman and the Fusetron email list, I would’ve never taken a chance on this one were it not for their weekly email missives that amplify and expand my mind.
French proto-metal psychedelia? Sign me up please. Only bummer on this is that it seems like the originals aren’t at all difficult to come by. If I’d have done my research, I’d have just picked those up.
Couple this with folks like Soggy and Angel Face and the French rock and roll underground only becomes more and more appealing. It may behoove you to scratch further beneath the surface here fellow trippers...
Jams are in the vein of Numero’s “Acid Nightmares” comp or even Riding Easy’s “Don’t Take the Brown Acid” and is shit more and more folks should be digging on (and I imagine they will in due time).
“The Sky Turns Red” is an obligatory (?) ballad that needn’t be shared via embed below, coupled with the fact that I couldn’t find it on YouTube.
Everything else here SLAYS and belongs in your record collection. The solo on “Fighting’ Cock”…oh man. They just don’t make ‘em like that no more.
All the more reason to support ‘em now.
