| Heaters - Heaters EP |
They used to be Partisans but
they lost a guitarist and suddenly became Heaters...as you do. Nevertheless,
the trio from Grand Rapids, Michigan, are ready to make an almighty racket for
you so you'd better listen up and listen good. The EP starts with a wall of
noise followed by the lizard tongued, snake hipped spirit of 'Draggin' Feet'
and straight away you know these guys mean business. 'Steve's Boots' starts
with the sound of a paranoid walk home through a poorly lit subway before
breaking in to a sweaty, distortion vs delay guitar battle with music being the
only real winner. The lyrics to 'Chili Cheese' are, in their entirety, "Do
you remember how to dance, better keep moving all of your nerves are
winning" and around these words swirls a world of swarthy guitars, lazy
beats and melodies that are so fluid they probably change with every listen.
'Salt Lick' is a two and a half
minute romp through lava lamps and go-go dancers as seen through the eyes of
someone who believes the hype and has taken the blue pill rather than the red
one. Final track, 'Levitate Thigh' has a fuzzy, scuzzy, garage pop charm about
it that weaves between controlled melody and released chaos that is as tempting
as a water slide on a hot day. Overall, Heaters are producing fine music as
part of what appears to be a burgeoning underground psyche revival and long may
it continue to bear fruit.
