Smoke-filled, swinging burlesque blues-trash titled the information accompanying the new release from Java Skull, and that sounds pretty much like musical nirvana to the mackerel shoal.

New 10″ vinyl, The Devil’s Looking For You is eight tracks of pure, unadulterated, slow burning, primal, garage blues.

Think songs about liars, cheats, loose women, horrible places, lost loves and necessary evils.

Think dirty riffs, catchy hooks, and voodoo drums.

Think the illegitimate lovechild of an unholy tryst between Tom Waits, Jon Spencer and the Cramps.

Out now on Heptown Records – order it here.
