Despite being around since 2003, Minneapolis residents, and self proclaimed bald-headed freaks, The Blind Shake are new to us.
Latest release, a mini LP titled Fly Right saw the light of day this week and is a prime slab of sweaty garage rock, with spaghetti-western twang and surf punk twinges thrown in for good measure.
Thankfully avoiding the trap of sacrificing the melodies for raw sonic mayhem (like too many others in the genre are wont to do), have a listen to the pulsating thump and wail of Tar Paper and the woozy, tripped-out twang of Diamond Days below.
