Power pop? Yep, another perfect transition,
this time to the darker, glammier,
psychedelic-black-light-poster-in-the-garage pop stylings of Jesus
Krysler. Holy crap! Where'd this disc come from? Plopping this
baby into the player and my ears were caressed, loved and fondled by the
absolutely stunning "Walking in the Sun.", a fuzzed out, power pop,
psychedelic treasure of the highest order. Big heavy riffs layered in
more fuzz than the carpet of a cat ladies hold-in shack. Sweet and
sugary, yet rough and garage-y vocals carry us to the big chorus with
the urgency of a man rushing to the Emergency Room once he hits the 5th
hour of a Viagra erection. Like The Seeds shagging The Beat
in the backseat of Baby Woodrose's '63 convertible Caddy. Love
it. Simply love it. The touch of female harmony vocals was genius to
texture the song. "Another Ride," roughs things up as it drags me along
the pavement on the back of its scratchy riff and propulsive bass. "The
Roadie," adds a bit more sensitivity to the proceedings than I expected
with it's sweet acoustic guitars telling the tale of woe on the road,
while "All Alone," is as sweet as a Setting Son gem. If these
names wet your mucous membranes, check Jesus Krysler out, and
prepare for the onslaught of mighty pop-punk mania that is "Cut My
Brain." Ripple Music Review July 2011 |
Jesus Krysler
is
soulful rock trio from British Columbia who
has been steadily climbing in to the indie
music spotlight in Canada.
With no prescribed formula, the group comprises skillful guitar work with solid song structure and has put forth a strong second album with their newly released, ‘Shades of Soul’. From driven rock tunes to mellow blues offerings, the album’s ballads also translate in to the live show. Feel, passion and arrangement are the only rules…
