Tube Alloys: Evil Angels / Wizard Kingdom 7"
Barely a year out from releasing one of the best debuts in recent punk history, Los Angelesâ Tube Alloys return with a brief but substantial offering, a double A-side single pulled from the same material that yielded their caustically mesmerising âMagnetic Pointâ LP. âEvil Angelsâ presents us with a version of the band at their most straightforward and accessible, with its borderline powerpop-style 70âs riffing and an atypical sense of restraint giving way to a colossal chorus and a shimmery, sugary lead guitar. âLizard Kingdomâ on the other hand makes full use of what Mark E. Smith called âThe Three Râsâ (repetition, repetition, repetition), a bludgeoning two note riff and nuisance-making synthesiser laying the canvas for singer Jai Love, an Australian immigrant, to lay out an exhaustive taxonomy of our hyper-modern fixations and frustrations with his eyes typically askance and his words dripping with vexed irony and venom. Itâs clear the ball is still rolling with Tube Alloys, to consistently thrilling effect, and this 7âł should be more than enough to tide us over âtil they bless us with their next modern marvel.
Tour 7âł â Limited to 300.
