I've been really quite slack recently. So much happening. So here is the long awaited review (shh! I know it is) of the second release from young Jon Spencer (Jon Spencer Blues Explosion (der!)) and Matt Verta-Ray (Speedball Baby), Going Way Out with Heavy Trash.
I wont lie to you and say that I've been following this band for years, but knowing Jon Spencer Blues Explosion from years back and being aware of the energy and style, I was excited to have a chance to listen to the offerings that Heavy Trash have come out with.
What style would you call it? Well, let's see.... I would say it takes elements of roots/blues/rockabilly and then there's that song named "Kloi", which made me check my music listening device to double check that I hadn't accidentally skipped artists somehow. I'm sure it means something, but you know me (or maybe you don't)... I don't tend to look deeply into lyrics, it's more the rhythm and tune that gets me going.
Overall, the album is dirty and best played loud. Going Way Out with Heavy Trash is a great one for the morning's trek to work, to take your mind off the morons that surround you and to smash up your mental guitar and/or drum kit and take that pain away. (Can you tell that I'm not quite looking forward to going to work tomorrow?)
Anyway, a very likable album, that sure to make me delve deeper into Heavy Trash's past.... and I advise that you do the same.
But in the meantime feel free to check out these places:
