Red Revelations
Jace Everett
Released:
May 2010
Label:
Wrasse Records (US)
Having gained a new constituency when his sleazy True Blood theme “Bad Things” became a surprise U.K. hit, this country upstart takes a sharp left turn: An entire album of film-noir psychobilly set in fleabag motels, loaded with space-distorting reverb, rumbling Link Wray twang-raunch, and dusky seduction metaphors playfully flirting with demonic possession. Two ethereal ballads recall Chris Isaak; several faster and noisier songs re-create 1965 garage punk from scratch, snotty hooks and all. Oddest cut: the droning, scream-shocked “Burn For You,” a dead ringer for the art band Suicide.
