Release Date: 15th December 2014
First things first, loving the
artwork. Now, the music on this three track EP from Lancashire quartet Sky Valley
Mistress deserves our attention and, whether we want to give it or not, it is
going to get your attention. Kicking off with 'Smoke Fairy', things get under
way with sassy, sexy, kick me in the balls and kiss it better attitude. This is
blues inspired rock'n'roll played through Rage Against The Machine amps but
with a velvet voiced temptress at the helm shifting things in to fifth gear and
heading for the open road. 'Wishbone' swaggers and pouts like an absolute rock
Goddess as the slick guitars and loose drums remind me of the first time I
heard Reef as an impressionable teenager, treating them like a gateway drug for
rock'n'roll on a grander scale. The EP climaxes with 'She Is So' which has a
more scuzzed up, garage rock feel that is crying out for a video based around
motorbikes, leather, booze and generally spending the day emasculating a load
of old bikers like Pink but with balls. Big hairy lady balls. You really need
some of this in your life and the effort that's gone in to each tune as well
the EP pack, like I say, it deserves your attention.
