Άνουβις

Creation released many great albums around the period of the late 80's and the early '90's and this Swervy album 'Mezcal Head' sits among them at the top of the list. In fact it's one of the best albums of the 1990's full stop. It's a damn near perfect record and is truly deserving of it's (cult) classic status. It seems that many groups struggle to top their debut albums but not in Swervedriver's case...they got even better on their follow up. It's everything that is great about Swerevdriver on one album. It's inspired and down right addictive - full of energy and a vibrancy in their playing. The band just stepped everything up from 'Raise' by a good few notches and literally raised the bar here. It's the melodies that come through much more strongly. Mezcal Head is a blissful noise right from the get-go and barely lets up; crescendos of bright shimmering guitar lines driven by tight powerful drumming throughout but cutting through all of this are mesmeric melodies like beams of bright sunlight that just grab hold of you and don't let you go. There are songs on here that you don't want to end....it's noisy, it's hypnotic, it's dreamy and the superb front cover reflects the spirit which emerges from out the grooves: hot & hazey. It's Swervedriver at their best.
