“Another Beefheart cover from Strictly Personal, a kind of psychotic Americana!”
Prog dispatches from the outer edge: Dino DiMuro delivers psychotic Americana via a reimagined Beefheart cover — familiar bones, wild new skin — while "Mirror Man" finally gets its "real" vocals after years as an instrumental impostor. Song for a Gorgeous Blonde's "Annicka den trolösa" pairs dense keyboards with spiky guitar figures in arty-proggy fashion, and "dold kappa" contorts an old demo into an unholy Downtempo-Jazztronica-Prog hybrid with a surprise Steely Dan cameo. Buzzard rumbles in with doom folk metal lead single "Disunion" — Sabbathian riffs meet Dylan-esque wordplay — as The Sleeping Cliffs round things out with upbeat instrumental rock laced with Motown, indie sleaze, and noise.
“An old instrumental from 2021 with the 'correct' Captain Beefheart lyrics finally added!”
“Lead single 'Disunion' from upcoming LP Hush Now (out 10/16) by Buzzard, in which the doom troubadour delivers a state of the planet address to the void above.”
“Gothic strings and relentless beats dramatize Autumn Affairs that are better left to the imagination!”
