In The Blogs: Unsacred Hearts
The Covalent Bond likes the Unsacred Hearts‘ recently released album, In Defense Of Fort Useless:
I just finished listening to The Unsacred Hearts debut full-length album, In Defense of Fort Useless. Wow! This is one hell of an album. Their music is an excellent blend of influences from Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground, The Rolling Stones, Dylan, and Richard Hell. It is this disparate blending of styles that complicate the choice of song of the day. Do I pick the country-twang, Rolling Stone influenced “Roots & Herbs,” “1000 Hot Babes,” a song reminiscent of Dylan, “Teenage Palace Daydream,” with its echoes of Lou Reed, or a hard rocker like “Point of Pride?” The choices are numerous, as every track is very appealing, but my vote goes to “The Two Three Four” a kinetic romp of a tune with dark underpinnings in its brief psychedelic intro and dissonant piano interlude.
