We love the sound self-harm messthetics of the glue wave massive as much as the next guy, you can believe it buster. We also love it when bands go for the big soulcrusher ‘give us a stadium so we can tear it to pieces like a prehistoric lizard with Zenta laser eyes bitch’ sound, which is what Bipolar Bear do in their new release, Harlem Pripyat on Mexican Summer. It hits hard and, as I said, fucking big. You can feel the bassline coiling like the rings of a boa constrictor about to crack your chest in true Mudhoney/Hot Snakes styles. Yes, they are that good. Just check out the party jam extraordinaire Goth Time Rag which kicks it all off, kowabunga, this is the sound of the Cowboys from Limbo cutting through green goo mist over a pretty metronomic steed which would have made Wipers go ‘yeah kid, that’s the way you do it’. The fact that the vocal harmonies seem to harken back to the good old days of girlie 60s garage rock in spite of the fact that these dudes are dudes has the psyche proto-punk bearded vinyl fiending drop out that lives inside us flipping his shit like it was 1964.
