The Golden Chariots of Mars – Tales of Talos
Posted by AlMachine on Wednesday, June 25, 2008


Ten out of ten for the title. This lots are a female fronted band from the home of Prince. Musically, the album is a mix of rock n roll, blues and psychedelia. A rocking, almost stoner, opener in 1955 kicks us off, and is followed by the slightly Led Zep intro of Electric City, Now You Don't Want My Love is slow blues and Keep On is a country tinged ballad.

A guitar led sound is the common flow through the album. The band have a rare organic dirt about them; they don't sound too polished or over produced and it lets the music really come alive. There are hints of Zeppelin, Zappa, Blondie, Neil Young and Stevie Nicks, and with a mix of influences like this it would be hard to make something that is not worth seeking out.

7/10
