Time for another round of "phrases in Uncut reviews that guarantee I won't be buying THAT CD"!
"feted fushion saxophonist/flautist"
"twittering electronics coalescing in thick miasmas"
"flickering, pulsing grunts and clicks which warble and buckle almost imperceptibly"
"uber-indie trio in tweefest"
"whistle solos"
"combination of Justice-style disco sleaze and innocent 80s teen film-style elation"
"goth cello"
"near-static drones by French composer"
What I AM buying, solely on the strength of the description, is this:
"Mining a rich, trashy vein of Stooges/Dolls/Mad mag rock [pretty much they had me here], The Dictators remain the unsung missing link between '60s garage, The Who, and the Ramones [and that sealed the deal]. [...] The boys took hedonism to new levels on testosterone-fired rewirings of punk and metal [that was just gravy!]." I can hardly wait for this one to come in to the record store.
