Feel It
FASHION PIMPS and THE GLAMAZONS - Jazz 4 Johnny LP
Includes d/l code.
Gatefold sleeve.
Cleveland does it again! Among great releases on a great label, this one really stands out.
"...the Cleveland based band (featuring members of The Cowboy, Cloud Nothings, Donkey Bugs, etc) make post-punk at its most sordid, pulling elements of no-wave and noise rock into the mix, creating something decidedly atonal and darkly entertaining. It’s often reminiscent of Spray Paint due to the layered vocals, but with a greasier, more sinister feel. This isn’t a project to over analyze. This is grade-A scuzz so just dive in and let the skronky filth wash over you." - Post Trash
Cut from the same musical DNA that has spawned wonders like Folded Shirt, Cloud Nothings, Donkey Bugs, and countless others. It's fashion. Angular. Punk. Richard Glamazon's tortured, warbly guitar refuses to talk in power chords, stringing notes around high powered synth blasts from Noah A (Profligate). Steve Chainsaw anchors the low end while espousing freaky plans and twisted dreams through hypnotic, layered vocals. Jayson G lays into the drums like only a true Fashion Pimp.
The Glamazons prove to be immaculately tight, driving their amplified Rust Belt experience into the ether. Jazz 4 Johnny holds court with Pere Ubu and X_Xs past, yet the sound isn't quite Terminal, Drome, or even Mustard...it's the future, baby!
