catholic spray - earth slime


maybe i just missed (or ignored) the hype surrounding CATHOLIC SPRAY's debut album AMAZON HUNT, but at the time they just seemed like another garage band from france that people were excited about for no good reason (when vice highlights a band, it makes me wanna turn the other way)..... but perhaps i was wrong (and/or they've gotten better), cuz upon listening to CATHOLIC SPRAY's newly released second lp, EARTH SLIME, i found myself sucked deep down inside these reverbed infectious grooves, imagining myself getting drunk, having the time of my life at some dark smoky parisian dive bar watching CATHOLIC SPRAY's destructive mayhem live.  their new album out on BORN BAD is quite the statement, not just a collection of worn out cliches,  EARTH SLIME is an explosion of gluewave bent psychedelic garage punk, warped and twisted by a rambunctious band of french kids ready to set the world and their guitars on fire.....

CATHOLIC SPRAY start off somewhere in left field near FEELING OF LOVE, LE CHOMAGE, CHEVEU and MAGNETIX (all fellow scene cohorts) yet somehow seem more drugged up, more deranged and even more punk than their contemporaries there and over here.  fans of the oh sees / demon's claws, certainly ought to check EARTH SLIME out but only if they're willing to jump head first into the nightmare trip that is CATHOLIC SPRAY.  more off-center, unhinged and off-kilter than ty segall and co, the night beats and even the black lips, EARTH SLIME is psych rock in the vein of the GORIES covering PINK FLOYD, or the OBLIVIANS covering 13th FLOOR ELEVATORS...... yes it is that bonkers and totally addicting at the same time.........  certainly not safe for the unadventurous listeners out there, and not recommended for those you just wanna listen to some boring NUGGETS inspired bullshit garage.  CATHOLIC SPRAY are looking to unleash yer demons...... and EARTH SLIME certainly does the trick.  

so turn this shit up loud, 
and get ready to a night of wicked rock n roll..........
there's no going back.......

way fucking recommended.
