about

One side of the split cassette we did with Donkey Hotel.

" Soddy Daisy sounds like hardcore psychedelic glam rock with an intoxicating raggedness around the edges, but that is just a tip of what is going on here. Eichler sings like he's smacked to the tits on glue, and his careening vocals come seasoned with a swaggering "fuck me honey'" drawl. Neer has the kind of off-kilter voice that is not only distinct and arresting, but she keeps doing unexpected things with it. When the two of them bite into the galvanizing and sinister "Don't Rub it In"—with Swafford ripping his guitar like a surgeon on speed and Lee bashing his heart out—the song becomes hypnotic, scary, sexy, brutal and beautiful at exactly the same moment. When Meer burrows into the showpiece "Take Me Down," it feels like traditional blues re-imagined for a new age with an overpowering aroma of dread hanging over it. ( I can see Bessie Smith smacking her lips and giving her approval from the hereafter. )

"What this band has managed to do is put two of the most compelling vocalists in one group and surround them with such atmosphere, dark emotion and pervasive subversion that hearing it literally invades the pores of your skin. Yes, the songs are excellent and memorable, but Lee has to take the credit for knowing exactly what to do with them while submerging them in the correct flavor of murk."
-Vern Hester (Windy City Times)
