Raygun Cowboys

Fortune and Glory, Pleasure and Pain

(Stomp Records)




Subtlety doesn't breathe here. The Raygun Cowboys are widely reputed as mongers of blast-level manifestos, and it's natural that their latest effort elevates the dynamism. Vivid colors, head-turning changes, and textures imprinting passages with disposition abound.  Joining headlong guitars with equally uproarious horns produces the intended bacchanaliac cataclysm. Gut-punch revelry best heard at topmost volume.

Recommended: "We Want It All," "Strange Times," "Had To Go," "Fortune, Glory, Pleasure, Pain," "Never Walk Alone," "Haunted Eyes"
