***NOW AVAILABLE!!! The debut album from WETDOG. Twenty-two tracks pressed on moss-colored green vinyl. “Wetdog will not be seen in some bar in Dalston pretending to like Italo Disco. Sarah will be at home, crying and listening to Morrissey. Rivka farms a tortoise and chickens in the Kent countryside. Billy lives in Arsenal and likes lego. Together, they form a triad of female energy vibes not seen since Wilson Phillips. The band have an affinity with Welsh genius, counting Datblygu and Euros Childs amongst their influences (there are hints of pastoral climes in the melodies), but The Wicker Man, Jeremy Kyle, Syd Barrett and Robert Crumb are just as likely to feature in any album-related discussions. Rivka Gillieron (guitar, vox), Sarah Datblygu (drums, vox) and Billy Easter (bass, vox) agree on one thing – hard and sparse music contrasting with vocal harmonies. Astringent, atonal guitars, off-key harmonies, squealed screechy vocals, a style of playing that could at best be described as 'optimistic'... really, it needs no qualification. Anti-rock. Anti-stadium. Anti-commercial. Anti-glamour.” UK import.
LP $27.50
