26.May // Black Moth / XM-3A Split 7"

The first half of this split single is Black Moth's offering, 'Spit Out Your Teeth', a frankly excellent blast down the Fu Manchu freeway with Melissa Auf Der Maur on the mic. I guess that sounds a little like Japanese Voyeurs on paper, but in practice it's degrees further down the lo-fi garage-stoner path that draws first album QOTSA to mind or Kyuss. Either way it's percussive, fuzz and riff-thick rock with a killer lead vocal- who can argue with that?

The second half is 'It's Possible' by XM-3A, which is more of a Wolfmother-esque revivalist pastiche of the Zep and Sabbath; for me obviously that's no bad thing, but I'm not going to lie and pretend it does anything other than that really. It's a solid slab of rock propelled by a lilting bass riff, and the lead break is simply brilliant.
