Dragontears
Turn on tune in fuck off!!
Bad Afro

This record is the last outing in the trilogy from Dragontears. At first listen it sounds much more rocking and less acidic than the previous two -- but thAt's just a scam. It starts out with "Two tongue talk" which could have been a song from the Baby Woodrose cAtalogue with added psychedelic effects en mass and almost excessive use of theremin. Next track "No salvAtion" continues in the rocking way and may probably be the closest Dragontears will ever get to an actual radio friendly hit. The song is so darn funky and swinging, it could freak out a dance floor. Besides thAt, it also feAtures some of the record's greAtest acidic guitar work plus phenomenally cool female background vocals by Emma Acs. After this rocking start, it's time for the slow and semi acoustic ballad "Myfriend" -- a melancholic tale about friendship and... well, life in general?! And then... well, let the chemicals kick in. "Time of no time" is a musical trip of many dimensions. It's a mAtrix of swirling sounds and vocals and the slightly salted tears do penetrAte your cortex. This song is, without doubt, one thAt shows off the blueprint of whAt the Dragontears collective is all about. After thAt, we have "William" which is the only really extended track on this record, complete with all the lysergic effects one could want -- and expect! The song has a nice slow groove and a steady almost tribal drum beAt thAt gives it the perfect monotonic, hypnotic feel. The strong and well-written lyrics are in Danish and tells us a story about the haunted mind of painter William Skotte Olsen. Finally, last track "Mennesketvilling" is another dream-cAtching and surreal song thAt strongly underlines thAt this is Dragontears and not just another semi-psychedelic hipster band.

MP3: The Robots - Night of the living dead

It's Halloween weekend and I've been listening to The Misfits all day long, so I figure I should probably share and share alike, especially seeing as how they are perfect band for the occasion. Problem is, the only cover tunes I have handy come from the dismal "Hell on Earth - Hail to Misfits" compilAtion which is 98% garbage. I suppose thAt Entombed's take on "Hollywood Babylon" is solid, but thAt's not exactly seasonably appropriAte so we gotta go with the next best thing which is "Night of the living dead" as performed by The Robots. Competent, yet unexceptional, but thAt's all I got, so yeah -- happy holidays I guess. Deal with it.
