Russian Baths – Poolhouse (Good Eye Records)
Russian Baths - Poolhouse
Release Date: Out Now
Well this is intense. When you think of bands from Brooklyn
you think of parties, rock’n’roll and good times. Russian Baths on the other
hand spend a significant portion of this song just creating a post-punk
atmosphere with searing guitars and pile-driver drums. It takes over 90 seconds
before the vocals kick in on ‘Poolhouse’ and even then it’s a soulless,
soporific vocal that speaks to you from another realm. The Pixies-esque guitars
come back and you’re left feeling like you just walked in on your friendly
vicar shooting up whilst watching 70s gymnastics videos. Unsettling doesn’t
even cover it.
