Lucid Nation, American Stonehenge (Brainfloss) CD
I can't help thinking of Spinal Tap's disastrous miniature Stonehenge
stage set, or the enormous Sabbath version that inspired it, but it
looks like Lucid Nation are trying to draw a parallel between the
druidic monument and modern-day skyscrapers...and they donate tracks
to "cause" albums...hmmm. Luckily, they don't suffer from the usual
downside of being right-on---they aren't shit. "American Stonehenge"
turns the superfuzz and bigmuff of Mudhoney and early Hole down from
11, adds the groove of Luscious Jackson and contrasts some clean
vocals with hyper-intense riot-grrrl screamage. High points are the
Courtney Love bile of "Chainletter" and the trash of "Music saved my
ass, again". West Coast post-punkish pop songs, and a zine too by the
looks of things: 1015 North Kings Rd, 313 LA, CA 90069
