NOTHING feels natural by PRIESTS
July 9, 2023I like the method this album kicks off, with the tune “Appropriate” as well as the terrific lyric “It feels great to buy something you can’t afford!” Aggressive, wise punk with a lady fronting the band.
This is a tight band, with remove skill. By the end of the record, you may be exhausted–and a few of the tunes do begin to run together–but on repeat listens, their skill is even more evident. past the bluster as well as guitar rage, there’s a strong intelligence as well as like of country. Yeah, they’re spoofing as well as riffing on the U.S.A., however it’s only since they genuinely want to push it back to greatness–a greatness that means everyone, not just the few as well as the rich.
Hot moments: When the album takes a sharp turn away from postpunk into surf on the title track, however the vocals feel like Debbie Harry. The upset shoegaze of Pink White House, which feels like The Go Gos on acid. as well as the chanting, chaotic noise of Puff, total with the line, “Achieve your dreams! Burger King!”
Well worth it at $10 on Bandcamp.
