Spider Kitten – A Pound For The Peacebringer
APF Records – 2023
Rock, Doom, Sludge, Americana
Rated: ****

We’ve always followed the cool cats named Spider Kitten. But we only really mentioned their Major Label Debut record from 2021. Well, their new one is of an entirely different level; yet still is typically Spider Kitten. Bigger in scope, slower in tempo than their grungier Major Label Debut album, A Pound For The Peacebringer is here to stomp and pound its story gradually, but severely into your heart. Filling it with a lavish amount of doom and sludge tones. But there is more, for Spider Kitten has always been about scouring through all genres for inspiration, and second track Safe To Drown for instance is a folk inspired, Americana and country ditty here to bookend the hefty tracks. And with those birds chirping away in the distance it turns into this delicate and almost lighthearted picnic scene. Fourth track God’s Song serves a similar purpose but instead of sunlight, we get a darker touch… Darker, just like the overall story of A Pound For The Peacebringer …
