| The Lazlo Device - The Gunslinger EP |
This EP was released around six
weeks ago so I can only apologise for being tardy to the party on this one but
this can't go unmentioned or ignored. The Londoners start off with 'Gunslinger'
which begins as a delicate but menacing piece of acoustic angst before bursting
in to life with a Kasabin-sized swagger and a bass-line sexy enough to turn
heads on a crowded street. 'Mantra' is up next and the Dutch Uncles-esque intro
is sublime with its edgy, twitchy guitars and syncopated drums while the bass
once again sticks it all together. The final track is 'Evocativor' which
maintains the menace and mischief of the other two tracks but adds in some
sultry organ and something between 80s U2 and a mariachi band - it's odd but it
works. There is a creativity and sense of ingenuity to this EP and I'd be
interested to see how a whole album plays out...
