Susan Alcorn Quintet - Pedernal CD RSD2019 brining out the slinky rhythms

brining out the slinky rhythms and warped structures everyone had come to know and love from the Trux

wishing they were in Van Halen (for the ladies)

But the heart of the band is still beating for the sort of raw open-minded non-generic punk that once came from the likes of Rocket From The Tombs

Raw and filth sound with brutal vocals

and had already worked with Snoop Dogg

Susan Alcorn Quintet - Pedernal CD RSD2019 brining out the slinky rhythmsPedernal opens with Alcorns graceful pedal steel line suggesting a dark, minor blues thats joined in an undulating caress by Formaneks lithe bass. Descending chords introduce the second section as the band steps into the gathering maelstrom, eventually resolving into a beatifically lyrical theme that seems to summon the abiding power of the iconic vista.
