Sun
Preachers are a new 6 piece band from France. The band play stoney, blues classic
70s style rock music. Spahn Ranch Campfire starts things and this song tells a
strange story. The singer Nicolas is very hard to understand but he has a cool
gravelly voice. Nice organ and big guitar sound on this track but no solos
(very short organ) in this 5min track. In the Church of Blind Drunks, the
Preacher is one eyed Man and it opens with a heavy riff. It is a melodic mid
paced track with a great mood and some nice guitar and organ interaction. Nail
King starts off as a slow blues track with a very low organ and a more in your
face vocal and then it develops into a more spacey section that is pretty cool
as the vocals disappear into a strange sound vortex and then the band get a bit
psyched out.. Powerful. Flip the record
over and it starts with Mountain Queen and the Dirty White Man. It starts with
a bit spacey keyboard which comes back and forth into the sound in the breaks.
Singing is a bit like Pearl Jam at times on this one. A nice short wah solo is played
in one of the breaks. Drift Away starts off as a mellow ballad but slowly
builds up to something quite a bit more heavy. Nice arrangement. The record has
a bonus track called Graveyard Blues. It starts with a spacey swirling organ
and slowly strummed guitar riff. It gets heavier when the entire band kicks in
and the vocals enter. Cool stuff. Some of this record reminds me a bit of a
less intense Mystik crewe of Clearlight at times. This is a record about heavy
riffing, powerful gravel vocals.. Crank it up or you will not appreciate it as
well at low volume.
