self-titled
scum stats: few copies on clear vinyl, more copies on black
Worth the price of admission for album cover art alone, this album is a genuinely rewarding listen. The brains behind it all is the lovely Dean Fertita, best known around these parts as guitarist in the Dead Weather, utility man in the Raconteurs and an all-around badass in Queens of The Stone Age.
"Wheels Within Wheels" has been in my head all week, "Needles" is certifiably electric, "No Wonder" is arguably my favorite of the bunch, a funky workout with squelchy guitar affectation coloring the mood for the better...none of this sounds like any of Dean's other bands (or even his previous work under the Hello = Fire moniker)...but it all sounds unmistakably "Dean." While that might seem deceptively obtuse, if you know you know.
I'm giving away a limited clear vinyl copy of this record. All you have to do is write SOMETHING in the comments. Anything. Seriously, the way comments used to fly around here has me pining for the past. Maybe I choose the comment at random (so you know, you could just write "butt" or something inane and have an equal chance at winning as if you were quoting Chaucer) or maybe I actually put thought into it.
I'm hearing rumbling around the office that the black light black velvet flocked posters are gone/sold out, but if I can scrounge one up, I'll be damn sure to include that here as part of the giveaway. Get your comment in by midnight central Thursday November 10th to be considered for inclusion. But most importantly, stream the hell out of this record until then. It's worth the effort.
Loving this :) Where There Is Water, Double Blind and Needles are tuuuunes! 🎶
I’m going for the sympathy vote. I have just had my Covid booster and am feeling rough so please send me the Tropical Gothclub album to make me feel better. Ah well nothing ventured, nothing gained!
I agree with Jonathan M as regards to the U.K. vs U.S. vault.
I would be happy to have the orange 7" paying for it!
I seem to have “drunk ordered” two copies of this, and certainly don’t deserve another. That said it’s a cracker, even if I have to lay it down because the cover is literally eating in to my consciousness
J’ai des difficultés à accéder au Vault….aujourd’hui j’y arrive !!! C’est merveilleux de pouvoir voir ce qu’il s’y passe !!
SOMETHING
Oi!, why are the UK vault exclusives not as good as the USA? I demand this record as compensation. I thank you
Very excited about this album am going to be playing it a lot.
