Holy F*ck - 'Lovely Allen' Add to My Fav Bands List

The lead track glitters with lilting inflections, and all-out explosion. It doesn’t feel like the noise jam it is, because it’s got emotion. How? Well, I don’t quite know. But it does. And then there’s the studio recording of ‘Super Inuit’, only previously heard live on the last album 'LP' - it howls with more passion than most. The three ‘Lovely Allen’ remixes are pretty superfluous, but who cares when you’ve already been won over. In hindsight, maybe it’s the way that Holy Fuck create something so visceral yet frenzied amidst their mathtronica.  Phenomenal.

Released 07/04/08 on Young Turks.

  • @Gigwise Yeh Dave's a great drummer and I'd see him with QOTSA or Them Crooked Vultures (or Nirvana), but I've never found Foos so fab.
