5: Awesome Color - Electric Aborigines

Woops, a day late.

This album ties into the mid to late 60s garage rock stuff I’ve been getting into lately, it was released earlier this year on Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace label and is their second full length. From what I’ve read, their last album was influenced by The Stooges and that is still in the sonic make up of the band, powerful throbbing rock that blurs into towering interlaced riffage, not unlike Sonic Youth, and a more grooving r ‘n’ b feel is in there too, check ‘Come And Dance’. ‘The Moon’ is a totally kickass track, the best results of all the different parts that make up the band’s aesthetic, firing on all cylinders.

I really like this album, but I think the constraints of listening for a week then putting down my thoughts about the album is showing through, I don’t know it as well as I’d like to before writing about it. So maybe I’m going to be a little looser about when I post stuff from The Album-A-Week Project.
