No Makeup
The dredge-fuzz rock of the Summer Cannibals debut album No Makeup has a bold thickness to it. With heavy dream rhythms and precisely
punctuated drum beats, the opening track “Sounds” foreshadows the lovely album
to follow.
Ripe with
the thickened guitar tones more equated with 70’s rock and 90’s grunge the
Summer Cannibals have mastered a truly luscious sound on their first album. The weighty atmosphere of these songs is the
perfect home for Jessica Boudreax’s sultry vocals, while the caressing waves of instrumentation is
nearly hypnotic in nature. An instant
classic, from yet another Portland band that makes supporting local music way too easy,The
Summer Cannibals’ No Makeup foretells of budding greatness. With tracks like the
rocking swagger of “Wives” and building drive of “Wear Me Out”this boldly
wonderful album is a
must have. Even if you haven’t
heard the band yet, pick it up. It will
be love at first note.
