Review Summary: Cum baby, cum baby, baby cum, cum - when you gotta give me lovin', then you gotta give me some?

This is one delirious guitar album, Cory Hanson Turner Overdrive, let's rock. This sounds like a set of tunes J. Mascis would trade BOTH his livers for - I understand that's anatomically impossible and guaranteed lethal but I'm sure he'd still find a way to do it. That's the magnitude of cum explosion we're dealing with here.

The riff at the start of 'Persuasion Architecture' sounds like an old locomotive travelling at light speed whilst simultaneously being stripped for parts by a gang of ruthless Decepticons. The guitar build up in 'Horsebait Sabotage' starting at 1:40 could hold its own when compared with the very best of Modest Mouse or Built to Spill while 'Driving Through Heaven' lives up to that title as it sounds positively gargantuan, served here with a delicious slice of spiritual neo psychedelic jam band lemon. 'Housefly' boasts a classic countrified rock riff and milks that mutha for all it's worth - and it's worth a lot believe me.

There are also more delicate acoustic country'ish moments here and if these don't quite punch at the same level as all the juicy guitar pyrotechnics that surround them (certainly Hanson's vocals aren't about to steal anyone's breath away) they are always well integrated all the same, and most importantly allow for some thrilling to and fro dynamics.

'Western Cum's left a stain on my heart...one that won't wash out at 40 degrees.

you asking if this is doofcore? yes



if I'd have carried on reviewing Tiger Lillies albums I'd only have been about three away from finishing now, huge regrets, could have legit been the biggest practical joke on the site

'"pale horse rider" was aight if bland'



yeah, I rated that one a 3.5 but honestly didn't play it too much - more a case of something 'I should love' but in reality just didn't fully bond with despite the genre match with what I usually enjoy.



I'll revisit it but it's as likely to drop to a 3 as go up to a 4 I'd think, if it changes at all.



this album is a lot different anyway.

I thought this was one of those cases where the front page cuts off the full album title

Pale Horse Rider ruled, had no idea this was "cumming" out.



Unsettling album title aside, excited to check this!



And yeah, YoYo, thought this was the album equivalent of Iamthenightstars' username.

Psychedelic folk is slowly becoming my favorite form of folk music and it makes sense why; the avant-nature of the guitar work, the usual rich and thick ambiance that backs the guitar, and the usually hypnotic drums, fills, or synths/drones

yeah, folk on its own is dull as fuck but when consumed with other things that embellish it, it becomes a beaut

'holy f these songs are tight'



yeah the quality of the writing and performances just transcend genre really - mix of psych, country, folk, rock, etc - people can label it with whichever they're more comfortable with :/

Driving Through Heaven is the best here agreed



Pika and myself recreating 'This review and the comments from Pokemon avatars confirm this' for real.



Can't remember which thread some guest user got mad and posted that now - Sleep Token? Probably Sleep Token
