"2" Deep Reduction |
|
The follow up to their impressive '99 debut again finds addition by way of "reduction." The band, a product of Radio Birdman
guitarist Deniz Tek and the rhythmic rust of the Stump Wizards, at first
made for an astrally vivid combination built on hard Rocking sharp angled
principles and have now one bettered themselves with the recruitment of
original Fans will immediately embrace this
latest merging on the shrewdly titled "2," an album that
meets the rigid specs of their first while adding in layers of "Rust
Never Sleeps" and The end result is somewhat subdued in a mild-mannered mellowing combination of seventies' era Guitar Rock big on effect, low on key, ahead on principle and high on Pop harmony. A shift from first to second never felt so smooth and the transition from there to here well employed by this Birdman/Wizards hybrid. More of The Doors than The Damned but both present in spirit and neither shying away from the damaging effects of the SPF factor.
