Peter Case – Wig! Reviewed by Sadie O., 8/5/10 Great, swampy, bluesy alt-Americana. Fine, understated playing and lyrics, and the stink of reality. It’s stuff like this that makes it possible to get up in the morning. Everything’s either great or fucking awesome. 1. 5:08 ***fuzzy, lo-fi, downtempo barrelhouse piano, bluesy harp, builds energy and drama until last 45 seconds or so. 2. 4:47 ****bluesy guitar intro, then rollicking 4/4 stomp with a tinge of punk. Killer. 3. 3:19 ****roadhouse shuffle – you can do the Texas two-step, or bop, or pogo – up to you, baby. 4. 3:37 ****swamp rock with a bit of reverb. Gnarly. 5. 3:31 ***piano boogie stomp with a lot of swing and a soupçon of menace. 6. 2:49 ***downbeat country blues shuffle. Sounds like one of them National metal-front guitars. Nice. 7. 3:51 ****fat electric guitar and piano boogie. 8. 4:25 ***live performance sound, slow and disturbed blues with piano and slide. Nice, creepy slide. 9. 4:25 ****reverby crawl with swell piano and syncopated beat. Gets all upside your backbone and scratches. 10. 3:32 ***electric 60’s rock with the ghost-of-Lou-Reed’s blessing. 11. 3:25 ****upbeat live swamp boogie. One-note guitar solo! 12. 3:32 ****beautiful acoustic steel guitar folk blues version of track 3. You can make out every goddamn disturbing word. Wow. WOW. | ||
