Ván – 2014
Rock,
Psych, Sixties, Seventies, Surf, Soul
Rated: ****
Did you ever wish you woke up still drunk on
the bar of the Titty Twister and not your local hangout? Have you ever longed
for even more dangerous and dark drinking holes where the beer tasted like
mescal and looked like it too. Where the
old wrestler type lady behind the bar could just as easily be a dude and the
entire night you’re there she never once lights up a new cigar stump. And
something perilous and shady drifts through the air. Well, give the album Black
Soul by Dario Mars and The Guillotines a listen and you’ll be right there
before the second track starts. The record works as a perfect soundtrack to one
of those crazy nights; a movie never made by Tarantino or someone else for that
matter. Rattling sixties and seventies mixed with surf influences and dark dark
dark soul. It burns a hole right through your wrist and puts the whisky in yer
belly in flames. And the man behind it all is Renaud Mayeur who you might know
from his little stint with Triggerfinger when he fell in for van Bruystegem. Or
from his own damn fine rock outfit Hulk (Or Hulkk) with whom he recorded in
Rancho De La Luna or from the equally amazing Les Anges or the stunning La
Muerte. Yes, he is a busy little fucker and with Dario Mars he has produced an
excellent psychedelic film noir extravaganza that is as sinister as it is
mysterious. So put yer head on the chopping block and get wicked!
