Product Description

The Rosy Crucifixion are from Glasgow and contributed memorably
to the Some Songs Side-By-Side box. Emily is a brilliant, brilliant guitarist
who, despite her mastery, knows the value of a cleansing dose of
feedback – check the intro to the deliciously snarly “Hot In Your
Head”:
Their The Gun Club/Thee Oh Sees informed garage rock has a
pleasing bounce to it.  It’s hard not to curl your top lip as you
nod along to “Lose Yourself” (a live favourite) or strut around all
sassy to “Sinners”.  There’s not a whisper of a weak track and
side ends with the skewed, leopard skin jacket stomp of “Night of
the Wailers”, a song that in a fair world would be hastening
brothel-creepered feet to limbo lounge dance-floors up and down the land.
The Wharves are from London and I’ve only seen them once (the night Andy
Murray won Wimbledon so I was in decidedly good cheer!) and they were
exceptional.  I admired their ability to meld influences as mutually
exclusive as, say, Pentangle, Black Sabbath and classic harmony-driven
girl-group pop into a sort of pagan post-punk that, well, worked.  It
felt brave and, much as I love straight-up, empty-headed garage rock or
winsome, jangling pop, it was encouraging to hear a group forging a new
sound.  If it alienates the hispters all well and good.  Who needs those
duds anyway?  While they’re sucking their cheeks in I’ll have pupils the
size of saucers from the sheer wired-ness of “Unhand Me” and the groovy,
metallic sway of “Woodchip”.  I can’t think of any other group past or
present who sound like The Wharves.  All credit to Soft Power for backing them – Not Unloved Blog

NOTE: Last copy has 1″ split to spine but doesn’t go all the way through.

Tracklist:  The Wharves – Thick Syrup / Unhand Me / Motif / Woodchip / Past Life 1887 / Deepwater Horizon.  The Rosy Crucifixion – Do You Right / Lose Yourself / Sinners / Dr. Zaiden / Hot In Your Head / Night Of The Wailers
