Album Review: To The Bones - Astral Magic
Bolton's To The Bones sound as if they want to be Motorhead, avid Queens of The Stone Age fans and promoters of the continuation of punk. While that could sound like an eclectic and varied mix, To The Bones manage to create a controlled and unified sound out of all their (very evident) influences. They released their Kyuss tribute album spanking new EP 'Astral Magic' on November 22nd. They kick off with 'Astral Magic', as common a stoner riff as you'd get but with enough groove to keep the ship afloat. Vocally, the lyrics are spat out sporadically in a way not dissimilar to the likes of Sonic Youth or The Pixies. Overall, it's a solid if not a little unimaginative desert rock track. 'Y-H-F' treads similar ground (a common occurrence on the EP) and might as well have been taken straight off one of Josh Homme's latest musings. It's a fuzzy guitar bonanza decorated with a chorus that sounds like the closest you'll come to a hook.
