| In 2006,
those masters of hippy spin, the legendary Love Mussels are back with a CD that exposes a
"Global Conspiracy". In a rare retreat from reclusivity (two nights at Higher Ground, Rundle Street, Adelaide) the Mussels have uncovered a Global Conspiracy to suppress the truth that:
(pick one). The Love Mussels' Global Conspiracy has again confounded the critics by including not only their trademark hippy grunge rock n roll (especially in the opening track "Purple Heart") but also one or two soppy and/or cynical ballads: "Disappeared" - and "Reasons". The Mussells make a blatant attempt to cash in on mambo groove with the dance riff in "Tito" and make a shamelessly token 'world music' gesture with the use of a sitar and Hindu-type chanting in "Up the Ganges". They even show their advancing age by including a cover version of the standard lullaby "Baby of Mine". Fortunately all songs include the Mussels' trademark unnecessarily long guitar solos and in the CD cover notes ("worth the price of the disc, even without the disk" according to a member of the band) an unbiased reviewer describes his attempts to unravel the Global Conspiracy by finding out 'What are they on about?' "Global Conspiracy" (2006) follows the critically acclaimed "Comfortable and Relaxed" (2004) which follows the critically acclaimed "Lobster Bisque" (1998) which follows the critically acclaimed Castro's Last Cigar" (1995) which follows the critically acclaimed whatever came before that. I forget. See the Mussels discography. |
