Funeral Horse - Sinister Rites Of The Master (2014)
Funeral Horse's latest release is a
fine slab of fuzzier-than-thou stoner rock, perfect for blasting out
of your car's windows on a muggy night. While the distortion on the
vocals can sometimes make the words a bit tricky to properly hear,
that fits right in with the buzzsaw guitar and drums that thump like
a neighbor who thinks you've got the music turned up too loud. The
record keeps things lean and trim at approximately a half-hour's
worth of material, with all of the songs flexed out to a pleasing
level of gritty sound and grooves that will get some part of your
body moving in time to the rhythm before you realize it's happening.
With some unexpected developments along the way (as with the actually
bluesy break-out of “Communist's Blues”, or the startlingly
sweet'n'quick “I Hear The Devil Calling Me”), the desert blues
stay fresh and varied, though the fuzzy grooves are never abandoned.
The band currently has a few copies of
the album on vinyl still available to pick up (which you can find on
their BandCamp page, as linked below), but with only 333 originally
pressed, you'll want to act fast if you intend to grab a copy. Don't
fret, though, since the album's also available digitally for the fine
price of $4.20. And if you're really lucky (and happen to be in the
States at the time), you might be able to catch the band on a tour
date in the near future. Here's to Funeral Horse!
