GALLON DRUNK
Jun 28th, 2012 | By NerdsAttack.net | Category: Record NewsDopo la morte del bassista Simon Wring i Gallon Drunk han fatto quadrato e sono andati avanti in trio - James Johnston, Terry Edwards e Ian White - chiudendosi ai Clouds Hills Recordings di Amburgo per realizzare il nuovo album di una carriera esemplare. ‘The Road Gets Darker From Here’ è il risultato di un lavoro durato quasi un anno, prodotto da Johann Scheerer (Faust/Robots In Disguise) e registrato in presa diretta.
From the insistent, slide guitar driven ‘A Thousand Years’ (first US single, out July 13th), through the exhilaratingly sleazy, deranged rock ‘n’ roll of ‘You Made Me’ (the first single to be released from the album, in the UK and Europe only), the menacing melancholia of ‘Stuck In My Head’ (featuring French singer Marion Andrau of Underground Railroad), to the desperate eruption of guitar fury of ‘Hanging On’, this is classic, unfettered Gallon Drunk. Also including the fever dream boogie of ‘The Big Breakdown’, before the final haunting, enigmatic psychodrama ‘The Perfect Dancer’ - a miasma of hallucinatory guitars, Hammond organs and slinky voodoo drums - the album is an utterly captivating experience.
