BLACK CLOUDS-s/t (Ride The Snake)OK, so this 7″ has been out for quite awhile but I only got a copy in the last few months and you punters need to know about it. The Black Clouds play simple, bashing ‘n bluesy garage rock that fans of the Oblivians, Cheater Slicks, et al will enjoy. I’m enjoying it myself. The best of the four songs here is “5 Years Behind My Time” and maybe it’s a sly in-joke about playing this music after any sort of so-called trend. I’m too busy being mesmerized by the string slamming and delirious tempo. Recorded at the late, great Twisted Village store in Harvard Square.(6 Wadleigh Place, Boston, MA 02127, www.ridethesnakerecords.com)
