‘Trouble The Water’ is an intense record, one that’s confrontational, angry and searching for truth in a world full of lies Homage to band’s native New York welds subgenres from hardcore to hip-hop in a cathartic release from volatile times The Brooklyn band burn more intensely than ever for a just future that embraces all people for the sake of all people, even if it takes exposing the oozing, untreated scab left between what is and what should be to realize this future This is Eagle at his most directionless, and for the time being that’s exactly what we needed to hear from him, because that’s how many of us are feeling too. Open Mike Eagle Component System With The Auto Reverseįilled with casually brilliant moments, Component System with the Auto Reverse is easily one of Open Mike Eagle's most enjoyable efforts It is not a substantial offering, nor does it plough a new furrow – but it is a buzzĪ slightly half-baked LP paying tribute to what’s gone before, but that would still be okay by me god knows we’ll miss Wilko when he’s goneĪll in, this is a solid epitaph to one of rock’s most eccentric and unsung careersīrawling tunes steeped in vintage rock & roll The pair attack a chunky selection of bluesy Wilko originals with gusto
More a case of business as usual, for as long as he still can Hardly ground-breaking, but an enjoyable romp nonetheless Going Back Home has a simple premise – two statesmen revering the R&B that ignited their journey, in the process delivering one of the most enjoyable records the year has thrown up so far And his influence? Well, that’s never going to be leaving us. We know it’s only a matter of time before he leaves us, but we can at least be happy that he’s going to be leaving us with this. Print edition onlyĪ joyful, celebratory affair. The Who singer gives it the full theatrics, hollering and growling away as Johnson cranks out choppy Canvey Island R&B riffs piano, harmonica and drums stomp away in supportĭaltry, in hammy form, is audibly more invigorated than on latterday Who outings.
