ORIGINATION Acme
LAST LISTENED TO late december
CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT none too good
RATING
More excellent retro-ish rock 'n' roll from the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. As usual, it's sound over content but that doesn't matter when the sound is as good as this. The hook here is in the lyrics "she is blue green, she is blue", which frankly i doubt even Spencer himself understands but of course it really doesn't matter. It just sounds great.
This time, along with the usual twin guitars and pounding drums, there's also a female backing voice and some subtle scratching, so it's not all business as usual. Apart from the business of cranking out great rock 'n' roll, of course.
