The Sinclairs

The Long Slow Death Of a Cigarette

(Cleopatra Records)




The participation of drummer Rat Scabies (of Damned repute) might lead observers to suppose this project is similarly direct. They'd be partially correct, but only partially so. In the main, collaborators opt for many-sided, atmospheric compositions of technicolor essence. At times measured, at others charged, these adventures largely owe their victories to guitarist Billy Shinbones' fluency in disparate idioms.

Recommended: "Ultra Splendor," "Origami Chainsaw," "My Pet Maggot's Bluebottle Dreams," "Him and His Mermaid Girlfriend,"  "Cellphone Lost In the Arctic Tundra," "Monkey's Tails," "Dante's Funeral"
