Let me start this review by saying WOW!!! From the first time I
heard a brief sample from this new band from Chile ,
on their myspace page, I couldn’t believe my ears. I was blown away by this
two-piece. Yes you read it right, TWO-PIECE!! One guitar and one drummer! And
both of them sharing the vocal duties, some sung in Spanish and some in
English, all of it very harmonious and just plain awesome.
With guitars tuned down to bowel-shaking depths, and enough fuzz
to choke a grizzly, At Devil Dirt create a huge wall of sound that can best be
described as Kyuss hits the Floor carrying a Torche. There is not one piece of
filler on this album, with most of the tracks clocking in at less than three
minutes in length, it appeals to most peoples’ attention span these days, and
leaves the listener craving more.
I make it my mission here to scout out the coolest music around
the world, and I’ll be damned if this isn’t chock-full of some of the best
things I like, all wrapped up in a pretty little bow. The buzz around camp is
this is the album of year, and I’m not one to argue. Check it out for yourself
and let your conscience be your guide.
