Huge Rat Attacks – Organic Babies

Huge Rat Attacks – Organic Babies

Self-Released – 2013

Psychedelic, Stoner

Rated:  ***

Veteran twin cities’ quartet Huge Rat Attacks will be unleashing their third full-length album on July 27, you can listen to a two track preview stream on their bandcamp page right now.  On ‘Organic Babies’ HRA spend the majority of their time feeling their way along the flowing walls of a lysergic truck stop, taking care not to be swallowed alive by the breathing curtains.  At the truck stop, the band picks up some pep pills in the form of the riffs, which provide a sludgy prescription for a mostly carefully navigated course.  Largely atmospheric, HRA find themselves in a miasma of psychedelic sound walls, which begin to melt and flow, but they’ve got to get as close to them as possible, even though every flowing wave of wallpaper threatens to knock them away, they’ve got to stay in tight to those riff walls because those breathing curtains of atmosphere may just inhale them or eat them alive.  So they spend most of their time feeling their way along the flowing walls of a lysergic truck stop, taking care not to be swallowed alive by the breathing curtains…
