i've been excited about the new gg king lp, esoteric lore, for sometime now. apparently it's still on order for me at permanent records, but it just never came in.
maybe yr in the same boat.
so wait no longer, click here for the new gg king lp........
and try to go buy it somewhere........ i swear its worth the search.....one of the best lps of the year so far......
if you don't know anything about gg king, trust me you want this lp. killed by death influenced fuzzed out garage punk by former members of the carbonas......, atlanta's lesser known short lived chaotic punkers......being from the same town, i think the black lips should bring gg king on tour...........
here's the review from creative loafing.......
The first full-length offering from former Carbonas frontman GG King embraces a fractured, avant-punk sound that reflects the mania of Los Angeles circa '79, with a twist of uneven lo-fi pop and pseudo hardcore tendencies. Esoteric Lore swims in dreariness, coupled with irresistible hooks that fly in the face of punk rock with underwater drumming, warped tapes, and field recordings made on a dark and stormy night. With King left to his own devices and playing most of the instruments on the record, songs such as "Want," "Acid" and "Bored of Breathing" take on a greater sense of imagination and looseness than Carbonas would have ever allowed. "Planet of Sociopaths" sounds like a chorus of demons singing along to a warped sound that lies at the crossroads of horror-punk, noise, three broken chords and Ritalin psychosis. For King, it's a dark, compulsive chapter that hinges on distinct songwriting and the noise and knowledge of his past.
