702-37 SUBSONICS "A Lot To Forget" LP/CD

Have you ever had “a lot to forget”? Have you ever walked back home after a rainy night out in the bars and then struggled around your record collection to find THAT album to smoke your last cigarette to before going back to your solitary bed? She’s not there anymore and you’ve got a lot to remember, but you HAVE to forget! You want to forget and you need something to shake your ass to, but being still a little bit drunk you also want to breathe the night outside and remember when she was inside waiting for you. Stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea, eh? The new classic album by The Subsonics, Atlanta’s coolest garage combo, will perfectly fit that situation and make you alternately break some glass in the kitchen dancing around like the fool that you are to its twisting, minimal, rock’n’roll songs and sigh to yourself with a frog in your throat to its super classy slow tunes. Stand up drums, two twangy, almost clean guitars, dreamy vocals about love and loneliness make the perfect music to make love to yourself to! Absolutely unique and true in their mix of Lou Reed, Richard Hell & Television, Buddy Holly and who knows how many other aural gems from the moody side of rock history, the Subsonics will give you back the pleasure to listen to a TRUE record, songs that come straight from the heart of Clay Reed, Buffi Aguero and Christy Montero, three r’n’r losers striving for their salvation with nothing more and nothing less than a bunch of great songs in their hands. If you’ve finally realized that it’s time to grow up and confront the reality of a mulifaceted life you simply gotta have this album. It’s not just a matter of music, it’s a matter of having “a lot to forget”! -- Walter Montagna, Slovenly Europe, December 2002
