Synopsis
Album Description Here?s a funny experiment: find yourself a radio (the old fashioned kind that?s not connected to your computer). Turn it on and spin the dial. Wherever it lands, leave it and just listen for a few minutes. Most likely one of two things will happen: either you?ll quickly enter the candy-coated landscape of your childhood, fondly reminiscing about old relationships, better time and your first sexual experience or (more likely) you?re going to be madder than hell and ready to smash things to pieces. If the latter is the case then we offer you a sounder solution than trashing your pad. Wine, Women and Song, the latest effort by San Francisco outfit known as Porn (The Men Of) has enough destructive might packed into 50+ minutes to make up for almost any duration of pop radio exposure. If you?re familiar with Porn, then you?re aware that they always have guest players on tour and in the recording studio. This time out reunites brainchild Tim Moss (Ritual Device) with longtime pals Billy Anderson (far too many to list) on bass and Dale Crover (Melvins, Nirvana) on drums. Their first recording in almost three years (though technically the true follow-up to their Man?s Ruin debut American Style,) Wine, Women and Song picks up right where Moss & Co. left off?drifting aimlessly in the coldest reaches of space where the stars align in such a way that it almost seems predestined that an album could be born of equal parts Black Sabbath, Verve and Ornette Coleman. Angry fits of rhythm section melt seamlessly into avant-Iommi jazz and back to bone-crushing rawk ? and that?s just the first track. Now the choice is up to you. You can run scared back to your precious radio la la land (commercials and all) or you can wrap your heads around Wine, Women and Song. The choice is simple. |
CD ReviewsHeavier than a wet blanket SlowDeath | B.C. Canada | 11/27/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Okay, I cant't believe that I am the first one to review this album, as it's been out for over a year now. Only reason I can see for that is because these guys are completely unknown.
Porn (the Men of) are the heaviest band around. period. Wine, Women and Song is very thick, flowing music.Singer(Tim Moss) sounds like a dirty old pervert when he sings, very low pitched and gruff. Dale Crover plays drums on this album, so If you know who he is (hint: the Melvins) then you already know his style, which always seems just a little bit off tempo, just slightly behind where he should be playing. Billy Anderson fills in on the bass, Billy being the producer/engineer of such bands as Neurosis, Sleep and Mr.Bungle, to name a few. This album has a definite Pink Floyd feel to it, very trippy and disturbing at times. Awesome production as well..one of my favorites of 2004, if not my favorite. trust me, if you like heavy, slow, disturbing dirges, this is for you. Buy it." |
