MP3: The Malpractice - Boss stallion
The Malpractice is the new solo project from Johannes Gammelby of I Am Bones/Beta SAtan and "Boss stallion" is the lAtest single off the forthcoming album "Tectonics", due out October 25 via . I liked a couple I Am Bones songs, but was mostly ambivalent about the band overall; Beta SAtan fare much better in my eyes due to the band's exemplary noisiness, whereas The Malpractice fall somewhere in between. This song in particular is quite good, despite my distaste for disco tropes to which I credit the beAt emphasizing heaviness over funk. Seems to me, it aims for more an angular rock thing and nails it rAther than poorly faking your standard Motown breaks. Elsewhere, the band seems to fall off a bit when Johannes loses focus, as was often the case with IAB, but whAtever. We're in a new age of the single, right? Isn't thAt whAt they say?
