Solo project of Sun City Girls’ Alvarius B. (Alan Bishop). Recorded in Cairo, this is the English language version of the Arabic album. Killer dark, sinister vibes along the lines of Jay Munly, Nick Cave, yet a few upbeat moments. Some psyche/folk/space influences as well. Guitars, drums, bass, keys, violin, oud. Some great stuff here. FCC #8.
*My Favorites*: 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, 11.
1. *(3:47) Mid. Intro of dogs, sirens, then gtr, band starts, wah-wah, cymbals.
2. *(1:39) Mid. Cafe vibe, eerie fem back vcl, bizarre vibe.
3. *(3:14) Mid. Harder edge w/ mean gtr, heavy beat, gets spacey.
4. (4:37) Slow. Dreamy, dark vibe, sparse and sinister.
5. (3:26) Slow / Mid. Very Tom Petty vibe, but a bit darker.
6. (4:29) Mid. Upbeat and poppy, seemingly out of place. Long spacey outro.
7. *(3;09) Mid. Trippy intro then upbeat w/ kick-ass vibe. Kills.
8. (4:28) Mid. FCC ‘fuck’ Trippy organ intro then dark.
9. (4:27) Slow. Sparse w/ impending doom, soaring vcls.
10. *(2:58) Slow Piano dirge w/ back vcls, violin.
11. *(5:56) Slow / Mid. Warren Ellis-like violin, plucked gtr, doomish.
