The West
Spindrift
Released:
Nov 2008
Label:
BEAT THE WORLD
These self-consciously eclectic San Francisco alt-rockers trance with more psychedelic oomph than one might expect. "Ace Coletrane" has plenty of Spaghetti western sinew; "Colt's Crime" makes for a decently glum West Coast Gun Club/Flesheaters art-blues dirge; "Goin' Down" starts its boogie at "Spirit in the Sky" and then turns into Canned Heat's "On the Road Again." The gypsy and klezmer moves are exotic diversions. Best of all, the title cut seems to inherit its depresso-riffed groove from Black Sabbath's great "Electric Funeral," by way of Pere Ubu's even greater "30 Seconds Over Tokyo."
