Hectic, tight, crunchy, demonic psychedelia. Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes comes to mind. Sounds like they were recorded from low earth orbit, but it works.
Combines Kim Deal’s sarcastic girl-sneer vocal, Lush’s rich female harmonies, Smashing Pumpkins’ slow, psychedelic groove, and a bunch of riffy pop tunes.
Clever, crafted, crystalline and crunchy in milk, these songs speak volumes, one story at a time. The best pop album heard around this office in a long time.
While The Fatima Mansions have their moments of power and innovation, their musical style resembles Roxy Music more than a band looking to stir things up.
