3.0 out of 5 stars
Debut of this NZ alt-country-bluesy-punk quartet, August 13, 2005
This review is from: That's Dog Head in the Gutter Gives Off Vibrations (Audio CD)
This first album by this obscure New Zealand band introduces their blend of countrified alternative rock with occasional flurries of feedback and distortion. If you like the Cowboy Junkies in their more amphetamine-driven state, or the willfully amateurish combination of vocal squawks and primitive blues-punk, then the mix of more delicate female-sung ballads and male-howled laments will please you. It's noticeably more rudimentary than their last and best album, A Dream of the Sea, but nonetheless it's consistent, never dull, and fits a lazy, restless afternoon mood. If you have their other two albums, finish your collection with this one.
