Hether – dirty claws
Genre: Surf Rock, Lo-fi Rock
At some point, it was musicians themselves that realized that selling records could be a legitimate career choice. And not only that, but once the record industry became established, it meant that musicians didn’t necessarily have to drift from town to two like the old minstrels. If played right, record sales alone could help them purchase the car or apartment of their dreams.
You can’t fault someone for wanting to make a living. However, this did mean that songwriters suddenly opted for side careers as accountants, lawyers, and investors. This certainly helped a lot of musicians get ripped off a lot less often. However, it also meant that the rock world became normalized and harmless.
Hether’s dirty claws sound like garage-psychedelic music made by people that you wouldn’t trust to guard your bottle of Aspirin. It’s music made in the grand old tradition of letting freaks with a love of loud, colorful music take the reins. And, it is music that is beautifully faceless in the same way that you never really figured out which bands got on to the Nuggets compilations.
