Garage rock 'n' soul

Anthony Souza | 07/11/1999

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Their sound is like something out of the mid-sixties, with Fogerty-like swamp guitars, horns that belong on old stax records, and a Fender Rhodes piano sound I haven't heard in years. I would give this a higher rating but it's a little thin in places and some songs have a lounge-jazz feel. Still, all-in-all, a good CD to have in your collection."

Absolutely essential psyched-out soulrock

"If Booker T. left the MGs to marry Pavement - this would be their bastard child. Horns, grinding guitar, and muddy bass mix in a decidedly "garagey" beautiful mess. One of the best albums of last year - absolutely the best debut. Raw, hedonistic and unforgettable."
