| Kobadelta - Ritual (Time Flies) |
Newcastle's favourite groove riders are back with their
organ smothered, Doors on a down day rock and I, for one, am pretty chuffed
about that. 'Ritual' sees the quintet marry the thunderous inevitability of
Muse at their heaviest, Jim Morrison at his preachiest and the Black Keys at their
sexiest. The result is a relentless, insistent tumult of riffs, bone rattling
drums and the lingering sensation that if you let any young female listen to
this they might just find themselves, 9 months later, giving birth to a black
hearted baby. The B-side to this single, the wonderfully titled
'Underestimation', starts with a bass riff soaked in distortion before the
shuffle of the Stone Roses-esque drums enter the room and the guitars buzzsaw
in to join that fat ol' bassline. All this is then liberally slathered in Dom
Noble's treacly and seductive vocals to provide what must surely be the soundtrack
to a seedy bar scene in the next Tarantino film - this time starring Sam
Rockwell, seriously the guy needs a starring role. As the song builds to a
frenetic crescendo, I have to remind myself that this is just the B-side and
question why this single was not considered a AA-side. Either way, these guys
are proving their consistency so a full album must surely be the next logical
step. Yes? Good. I thought so.
