Fat White Family, The – “Champagne Holocaust” – [Fat Possum Records]

billiejoe   9/17/2014   A Library, CD

CD released this year by the sextet from South London. Wailing guitar at times twangy
Kinda bluesish. Lots of feels and lots of drugs. The distorted vocals are decipherable. There are bells on Isn’t It Raining in Your Mouth? because bells. Without Consent gets jazzy with the drums. Fancy. All American Prairie is twangy, which is fitting. Borderline is one of my favorite tracks because it’s buzzy and Heaven on Earth is too because it is loud. Bomb Disneyland is upbeat and peppy. They are clearly talented musicians and would make an amazing live show.
