If the seed of Jim Morrison were gestated in the womb of Sookie Stackhouse, and then born into a world out of a Robert Rodriguez film, The Chaw would best set sound track of the life of this bizarre hypothetical love-child protagonist. Dark moody sounds, drenched in reverb, referencing soundtracks of the classic spaghetti westerns, big open bar chords and barky low register guitar leads ala Dick Dale, and psychedelic soundscapes, take you on a trip on a dusty trail through a vivid world, full of mystery, and intrigue. The music is not your typical hodgepodge of genres, a label fitting of the music of many newer bands these days. This band seems to have a very strong identity and their first full length LP.delivers a strong brew, bold and district in flavor. Snotty vocals, fuzzed-out guitars, cheesy organs classic garage-punk aesthetic. Wonderfully bizarre, original and tasteful. What more can you ask for?
