The new album, "Sweet Sour", by Band of Skulls
is not for the faint of heart. They are a trio that makes no bones
about it. This is not pretentious music – it’s lowbrow rock n’ roll with
attitude and aggression to boot.
Stylistically, they are still doing what worked on their first album, Baby Darling Doll Face Honey: making rock songs that border on cliche! But just end up being cool. Who can argue with that? But there are some hints at what could come. Particularly, the unexpected breakdown on "Lay My Head Down" could be evidence of a more sophisticated sound that's more ambient, and less in-your-face.
