Thee Headshrinkers Head Cheese LP
A bit craftier than it appears at a glance, this THEE HEADSHRINKERS album isn’t just the latest round of BILLY CHILDISH-style beaters, but an overhead view of vintage guitar rock tradition through dark sunglasses. Boasting laidback garage grooves with an impeccable cool, these twelve solid songs turn their inherent simplicity into meditations of sophistication, often coming across like the musical lovechild of Mark E. Smith and Iggy Pop. Existing spiritually somewhere between the FUZZTONES and EDDY CURRENT SUPPRESSION RING, this stony stew would pair equally well with Saturday afternoon beers or Sunday morning espressos.
