Vincent Vincent and the Villains Gospel Bombs [EMI/Mar 10] |
| I have been looking forward to Vincent Vincent’s debut LP since first hearing a few tracks a few years ago (most notably “End of the Night”). The Villains’ style of retro rockabilly-meets-samba would fit quite comfortably on a Quentin Tarantino soundtrack — at times delving into Caribbean-flavored lounge jams, then harking back to a classic whammy-bar tantrum that brings Roy Orbison or Ennio Morricone to mind. Vincent’s stylized vocals are strong and heartfelt, giving the record an irresistable vintage charm not heard from many other neo-retro bands.
RIYL: Tiger Army, Roy Orbison, The Rumble Strips, Richard Hell & the Voidoids, Sublime |
