Dope Body - Kunk
KUNK!
Okay, part of me wanted to put this one up - even before I had listened to it - just because of the name and the cover. But fear not, this record is more than a pretty (awesome) face.
Dope Body specialize in a unique kind of noise rock, they tend to start with noise before they get around to rock. Just listen to Old Grey below to hear what I’m talking about.
This record has a handful of tracks like that, and they’re enjoyable enough that it’s a bit disappointing that the record isn’t all like that. Alas, there are more than a handful of noisy interludes that, while they add cohesion to the record, don’t really entertain on their own.
Still, it’s a fun listen overall, and this band can afford to coast on their idiosyncrasies. I’m looking forward to their next release.
Highlights: Goon Line • Old Grey • Down
