“It’s as phallic and sex-worn as Beelzebub’s hoof-stick and it’s soaked in a riff heavy glaze. Drag that sound with its glitter and leather and guts right on into the 21st century, and we have something like Midnight Devils…”
Music Reviews
“Tin Woodman have gone and resurrected the synthesised camp scifi souls of Midnight Juggernauts, Bondage Fairies and The B52s, and produced this it-thing of a single…”
“As only essential shops remained open, and all non-essentials shut down, the places we met that were closed up for months took something else along with them; that life blood of human connection…”
“This is energy honed, owned and punked. This is New York junk trashed for the masses. It belongs in a sweatbox on hot summer eve in a downtown back avenue slam…”
“All the mood and the warning and fear, it’s still here, along with some new threads and tricks. The clarity suits, and because of it, every song feels more human than horror…”
“There’s the matured calm and chill of solo Ray Davies, the jangle of late Teenage Fanclub. All the twists and connections explain the not-shy nods in a song packed with Easter-egg aurals…”
“Last Wars have mixed up a cool chaos sound made of rasp and home brewed lo-fi synths. This is bedroom based punk for electro free-wheelers, all scratchy and rat-tailed and ragged…”
“Scott’s gift for wordplay and heartfelt conveyance might have found new surroundings to move in, but the light boyish charm of his wistful romance, that’s as intact and on show as ever…”
“The skill and the thrill of a writer on form glows through the best parts of the album. There’s a warmth, a conviction, and a clam lack of fear, and a feeling of freedom that shines…”
“It’s a hypnotic thing to take in, watching the patience involved in the making. The precision based tweaks and the nurture of noise… Well I’ll let you enjoy for yourself.”
