Gutbucket - Dry Humping the American Dream

SKU 34-CANTALOUPE 21021
This is the second album by this great NY band who take the 'downtown sound' as pioneered in the 1980s by bands like Naked City, Curlew, Doctor Nerve and keep it current and fresh. I know you are buying this because you want to check them out since they are now signed to Cuneiform and have two great releases out with us. That's fine with us, but even if we didn't sign them, they're a great group who deserve to be heard by more folks.

"This review is probably useless to anyone who has already got Gutbucket's first album, as you won't need any more encouragement. To those that haven't yet, let me say that they should give them a try if they have time for a band that can combine the edge of Hasidic New Wave, the genre bending craziness of Estradasphere and the sheer energy of John Zorn's Naked city with an amazing level of musicianship, a solid jazz grounding and raw, rock and roll productions! I am a jazz as well as extreme metal fan, I like electronic music and the blues as well, and this band can do it all with an exciting sense of gusto and enthusiasm that has made them irresistible to me. They can be as cerebral as Mr Bungle, but with a sense of fun and a rockier attitude. They can reach total punk craziness via Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane or just give you some of the most lyrical and airy passages in unexpected arrangements. I wouldn't say that they are the most original band I have heard but their enthusiasm and audacity makes up for their few (if any) shortcomings."-Alexander Vagenas
