“Another Beefheart cover from Strictly Personal, a kind of psychotic Americana!”
Riding the psychotic Americana rails: Dino DiMuro delivers a raw, note-chasing Beefheart resurrection on Old Fart At Play, while Beatle Bones 'n Smokin' Stones and Mirror Man dress the Captain's bones in bold new clothes. I Ya Toyah reaches through the invisible wall with the haunting, charity-driven WHITE WALLS, and Unquiet Nights conjures stirring synths and fret wizardry on Last Days of Rome. Chalice Sect closes their first chapter with pulsating EBM-charged darkwave on Finis Initii, while Avery Friedman glistens on her return single ahead of her first UK/EU tour.
