Search - Craw :: Bodies for Strontium

Excellent.

"Bodies for Strontium 90 is essentially Craw's attempt to bottle up many years of effort into one exquisite (if long overdue) release. Caught My Tell in particular evokes pears, green apples and grassy flavors with slight cinnamon accents and traces of pussy. Pairs well with chicken.



Recommeded!"

Unnerving/ Listen to this album loud...

"As with every craw album, you really have to give the latest release several listens just to catch the vibe, that is, to start to follow the time changes and staccato stops and starts. And as with every craw album, once you can catch that rhythm and piece together just how the wierd lyrics integrate, you get a special feeling, deep in your petuitary gland, you know, the one that secretes the testosterone. And at the same time, your inner child puts on his mischevious grin, your inner conspiracy theory tendency geek goes on parade, and you pray that these guys would get out of Cleveland and tour this material, it's visceral. This is like a modern-day Voivod, less the goth-y Canadian thing, replaced by an amphetamine binge gone wrong. The previous release (Map, Moniter, Surge) held me from beginning to end more, where these tracks tend to all sound similar, but again, wait it out, give it another chance, and if you're not of the faint of heart, it'll rock you."
