Crystal Stilts – Sycamore Tree

I’m pretty sure that for most of the time I am not a Crystal Stilts fan. I know this because I’ve a bruised big finger from pressing delete about 22 seconds into each of their songs. Makes it quite the X-Files moment thusly that ‘Sycamore Tree’ has somehow catapulted itself beyond the acorn stage. Perhaps its because it sounds like Tarantino’s Joy Division cover band, but probably not. It also reminds me of the Jon Spencer Blue Explosion, an act I patently failed to acquire any liking for despite the critical salivation they slush about in. Slumberland released the Brooklyn group’s album ‘In Love With Oblivion’ recently (aha!) so you know it must be good stuff, for the moment however I’ll make do with this little shady number. KD
