Sleeping Beauties

Spawned in the same creepy corner of the Pacific Northwest and from the remains of the fantastically underappreciated bands The Hunches, Eat Skull and The Hospitals are the Sleeping Beauties.Big basement rock opens up on “Bobby and Suzie” with it’s gluey flypaper tempo changes that brings to mind Alex Chilton’s “Like Flies on Sherbert” and the Electric Eels mashed into a ball. Rhythm piano played with an icepick is next on “Meth” and though it may be a tale of warning somehow adds allure to the temptation of having “got a weekend sack and it’s Saturday, Sunday my life is crumbling”.
