Wildildlife - Six LP on Crucial Blast Records

Whoops, took a year and a few months off. We'll start again with regular updates from now on. Right now I am listening to this record, Six by a band called Wildildlife from Seattle.


This record caters to a lot of crowds, one of which may or may not be everyone at Burning Man, but as I trudge through the muddy sheets of molasses on the floor and walls of this thing I can feel a consistent warmth throughout. The band sticks to slow grooves spread out to produce epic songs (13 and 18 minutes+) mixed with strange noise interludes that make one conjure up images of Buffalo Bill and his creepy well or maybe a not-so scary Slingblade mumbling' in a booth at McDonalds. Basically, though, it's a rock record, a slow burn with intent to thrill. Good luck getting the album cover out of your nightmares.
