Album Review
Red West
Reviewed 2022-05-22
live in-studio, jam-to-compose by well seasoned musicians, led by Alan Vega. Guitar-drums-bass-vocals rawk. Confident. Alt-country feel with a hint of Nick Cave darkness.

Vega played from 1966 until his death in 2016, most famous for his stint in Suicide early 80’s. This is him in 2015, a couple years after recovering from a stroke.

FCCs-none detected
Favorites-1,3,5,6

1. fun, bluesy, driving forwards
2. mid-tempo repetitive, same couple of bars change in volume. “here comes the fire” is a good lyric
3. cool spy vibe
4. upbeat, repetitive
5. Like a Twin Peaks soundtrack outtake. Loose bar vibe. 3/4 time.
6. ooh synth with reverb. Dirty, quiet, low
