POST WAR GLAMOUR GIRLS – Ode To Harry Dean [7″; Sturdy Records, 2011] * * * * 1/2
„Concrete hearts will kill us all/
Can’t we all just get along?“
Alice Scott fragte sanft anklagend und bedrückt in jenem turbulenten, rabaukigen Psycho-Trash-Pop erster Güte.
Das unheimliche Quartett aus Leeds riss auf seiner Debüt-45 etliche Schürfwunden auf, verteilte Kopfnüsse und kam dennoch kaum zur Ruhe. So aggressiv, tollwütig und gröhlend kann Pop sein! Better take cover!
„Ode To Harry Dean“, allemal eine sensationelle Single, weckte vermutlich nicht nur im RS-Forum Assoziationen zu Nick Cave und Tom Waits. Das Infra-Rot-Motiv des Covers warnte vorsorglich die sanfteren, betulicheren Gemüter unter den Interessenten! Don’t touch me! Don’t spin me!
Oh shit…this is incredible stuff!
