E.T. Explore Me – Drug Me
Voodoo Rhythm Records – 2024
Rock, Punk, Garage, Psych, Thrash
Rated: ****
We mentioned their Shine album from 2019 and were immediately incredibly happy, dancing weirdly and smiling that dubious clenched grin listening to their new Drug Me album. Yes, we felt intoxicated quick by the new E.T. Explore Me. A lot of work went into the collection of this variation of psychedelic eccentricity. Still anxious, nervous energy coming at you from all angles there are now more tension arcs, more experimentation and more weirdness. Drifting toward minimal electro punk on some songs, the Ace-Tone driven warbling still takes center stage on most tracks. Used to lure you into their midst with its addictive and infectious sounds, you will soon feel that junkie sweat break and that burning sensation in your blood. The rhythmic drive, the melodies exploding like a speedball through the nose, the fantastic lyrics reminding you of nights that might never even have happened and all the different voices drifting in and out of your head… Like those memories and those blinking lights and that feeling you might pass out at any given moment. If you weren’t an E.T. Explore Me junkie after Shine, Drug Me will surely do the trick…
