Radical space tripping rock from the great Pacific Northwest, Seattle’s Year of The Cobra are back and crushing with five track EP Burn Your Dead. The EP is a fuzzy hi-fi gnarly jammer with juicy rhythms and clean grooves. There are plenty of pummeling riffs on the album but they don’t lose a sizzling appeal that helps to allure the listener with enchanting tunes.
Foreboding and menacing, Amy Tung’s vocals have a distinguishing appeal that helps to make the two-piece listenable, and even an edge with some familiarity to early 90s riot grrrl punk rock singers.
Despite some of the positive characteristics, nothing really made me want to remember any of the tracks apart from “The Howl” which stood out to me as the EP’s centerpiece. Because the album is so short, there’s not much to lean on, and I feel that contributes to some of the lackluster. At least there’s some effort to deviate between multiple tempos throughout the tracks, which I found helpful in keeping my attention.
EP releases October 27th 2017!
