Description
Screeching, frantic dark cult rock and roll from Memphis. Attention Freeks! Watch out Theefs! Get lost in the whirl and surrender your will to Aquarian Blood.
Our take: Two song single of noisy, propulsive garage from this Memphis band. Aquarian Blood remind me quite a lot of their fellow Memphians Nots… the vocals have a similar quality (which sounds kind of like a cult chanting to me for some reason) and the music is similarly explosive. While I don’t hear much synth on the a-side, the occasional whooshes of reverb and feedback are very much akin to the synth swells in many of Nots’ songs, and it does sound like there’s a synth prominent in the mix on the b-side. Despite the passing similarities to Nots, the recording is much rougher and nastier, which gives this a more confrontational and punkier vibe. If you follow the Total Punk / Pelican Pow Wow world, particularly the New Orleans bands, I think there’s a good chance you’ll like this a lot as well.
