Mr. Crinkles and the Wrinkles

Slicker Than Snot

(Self / Boot Liquor Records)

Classing this simply as Rockabilly would be relating but a shard of the truth. For that Rebel Yell is here seized up and mashed all through a sort of kaleidoscopic psychosis, one in which spectral phantasms and post-Punk accentings dance the jig of the idiosyncratic. Adventurousness pays off bigly, as old/neo swivels in Hilton Sisters combination. Mr. Crinkles' throat gymnastics - gulps, gleeps, and strangled avouchments - commingle with Sam P.'s creature and off-wall persuasions, to bring memories of Suicide face Alan Vega's 1980 Jukebox Babe, and Tim Polecat's 1994 Virtual Rockabilly. (Enriched finger-popping curiosities, they winningly were.)
