Mythical Beast – “Scales” – [Language of Stone]

This October 2008 release is the debut LP by Katrina-displaced band Mythical Beast. Now living in Kansas City, Missouri; this trio has also put out a few split 12″s (recently added to the KFJC library). It’s heavy with a 1970s rock flavor and psychedelic guitar/bass action. Intense vocals by Corinne Sweeney are bluesy in a lead singer of the Gossip sort of way, but super slowed down and wailing–kind of giving a drone-like quality. Handclaps too (track 4). This really grew on me, seeping into my subconscious.
