Black Cab - Jesus East

Post by Shaun »

From last months Independent Music supplement.....

Sounding like Primal Scream in the throes of a dark psychedelic seizure, Altamont Diary, the 2005 debut from Black Cab, was a sonic montage evocation-cum-tribute to the 1969 festival. This follow-up has no such unifying concept, but comprises a comparable blend of psychedelic elements, with backward guitars, heat-haze sitar and organ drones, rolling drum tattoos and slithering lead guitar figures congealing into chugging Neu!-beat grooves behind spacey vocal chants and murmurs of lines like " I'm in a future I don't understand" and "My heart is on fire" . There's a heartfelt tribute to Syd Barrett in "Underground Star" , and Grateful Dead member Sam Cutler reminiscing on "Valiant" and "The Path" about "those magic moments, indescribably beautiful ". Recommended for Spacemen 3 fans.

'Altamont Diary' sounds quite good too so i'll probably buy that first. Anyone already got that ?
