Red Dissolving Rays Of Light
Not very original but oddly compelling
Everyone has a type that they’re inextricably and inexplicably drawn towards. For me it’s late 1960s Nuggets style garage rock. Look at it leering at me, all shaggy hair, stubble cigarette smoke, beckoning me to go for a drunk-drive in its gas-guzzling roadster. The dirty genre. I know it’s not particularly hard to do, yet I am powerless to resist. Even when, as with The Loons, the template hasn’t particularly advanced since The Monkees sang ‘Stepping Stone’, has been dissolved by vague early 90s indie melodicism and half-baked psychedelic lyricism. Ah, feck it, I’m yours. Do with me what you will... you bad man.
