***Hether is the solo project of Paul Castelluzo, a notably well versed multi-instrumentalist with a serious knack for writing and recording music in earnest. Sticky Thumb delivers 8 strong numbers channeling the likes of T-Rex, Lou Reed, and the Beach Boys. Castelluzo artfully borrows from his influences while wholeheartedly making each statement his own. Sun-Soaked “Sex Wax” is full of adolescent energy and infectious groove and melody. “Oidar” again delivers a fantastic rhythm section, clever production, strong melodic movement, and effortless vocal delivery. A notable favorite “Highbrid” reimagines a nostalgically beautiful melancholy version of “Hybrid Moments” by the Misfits. Pressed on green with neon green splatter vinyl.
LP $31.95
