MEMPHIS MORTICIANS
1,000,000 Delinquents
(Space Hearse)
Garageabilly freakout from New York’s finest.
4/5
This is tough stuff from the MemphisMorticians (from New York)who manage to successfully blend the best elements of 60’s Garage fuzz and goodole earthy 50’s Rockabilly. They have come up with a nasty but nice twistedlittle beast of a mini-album the heart of which is kept pumping by some realgone voodoo rhythm beating in anything but metronomic time. That chaotic yet hypnotic beat is kept in check bya swirling twangsome guitar that is sometimes bathed in fuzz and others dancinglike a demented Imp that has taken residence prancing around in your head,‘Roll Them Bones’ being an example and I don’t want the little bastard evictedjust yet. It all ends too soon but the replay button is there just for that.
