| Chris T-T & The Hoodrats - Bury Me With A Scarab |
Release Date: 10th February 2014
Chris T-T was a great discovery
for me in 2013 and this latest single is a great reminder of his talent...and
the talent of his Hoodrats. 'Bury Me With A Scarab' is a sexy indie swagger of
a tune that, if the vocals were slightly more erratic, could easily be confused
for a Pixies indie disco floor filler. There are some punkish guitars, a
satisfyingly chugging bass line and the kind of malevolent sneer that only the
best performers can get in to their voice. This is all very well and certainly
deserves being spun at a few Camden indie nights if there's any justice in the
world but there is one slightly unnerving point: this is essentially a song
about being buried alive. Now, for me, my recurring nightmare is being set
adrift in space with just enough oxygen to watch as Earth spins off in to the
distance but for a lot of people it's being buried alive. So, for that I think
they should put a health warning on this track - just to stop a Student Union
full of taphophobes freaking out when this song comes on. Yes I looked it up,
get off my case.
