1000mods - Vultures (2014)
The latest album from 1000 Mods starts
out in a generally desert rock key, but before the opening song
(“Claws”) is through, they've cranked up the fuzz and psychedelic
guitar-tone smears to a level of red-eyed unruliness that threatens
to liquify your speakers, or at least leave them sand-blasted. With
shag carpeting for your ears in the form of their reverbed-out
feedback solos and drums to shake your wax clean, the album cruises
along through desert landscapes and starry skies, cranking tunes and
shredding notes for the entire trip, roaring through rough winds and
high speeds without a care. As they roll along, the songs cycle
through riff after weighty riff, letting the grit and grime
accumulate like a dust storm, and pulling things to a close with the
hefty “Reverb Of The New World”.
The album has an impressive flow and
momentum to it, carrying energy from one song to the next to great
effect, and the way the band tears into the songs suggests countless
hours spent in the studio getting to know the songs inside and out.
