(8.5)
The almighty defenders live up to their name. Supposedly created in a week, this sloppy gospel garage rock is some of the best i've heard since King Khan & BBQ Show's latest. If you're a big fan of the Black Lips, you're aware of their mishap in India. Short story is their racy stage antics in India got them kicked out of the county cutting the India tour short, so they fled to Germany where their friends King Khan and Mark Sultan reside. While their week togeather, they created this album.
It sounds exactly how one would imaging an album created by the two groups would sound, except they added in this new gospel theme. The over all sound is sloppy as hell, which give it the authentic vibe. You can't really tell what's being sung in most of the songs, just a lot of intoxicated ramblings and noises. But the songs that are decipherable (Jihad Blues) are really good.
Lots and Lots of soul from this ultimate supergroup. Highly Recommended.
Sounds Like
