NATIONAL PHOTO COMMITTEE - Red Hot Photo Committee LP

Highly recommended. One of our favourites labels, ever/never, strikes again with another essential listen!

Check out “If I Wait,” a springy number that bounces along like vintage Halo Benders but harbors something murkier beneath the pep. Henry Moskal’s sprightly pedal steel guitar and Will Carr’s bobbing bass say one thing, while the jittery drums and barbed riffs suggest something totally different. Bottner’s voice splits the difference, somehow sounding both worn out and fired up, which suits his lyrics about the pleasures and perils of procrastination. “Adelaide,” meanwhile, is a chugging sh!t-kicker that features a howling sax outro and a honky-tonk breakdown. The rootsy “It’s Hard” packs a couple rave-ups into its doleful blue-collar lament (and finds room for a couple dick jokes).

“Gizzard,” at more than 11 minutes long, evokes Neil and the Horse at their gnarly, slow-burning best, a marvel of eroded boogie and corrosive yearning.
