Filthy Friends - Invitation (New CD)

Invitation is the debut album by Filthy Friends, the new supergroup from Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney), Peter Buck (R.E.M.), Kurt Bloch (The Fastbacks), Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows, The Minus 5) and Bill Rieflin (King Crimson). The 12-song collection works through a flurry of different moods and styles, genre exercises and joyous experiments. The intricate guitar knots and blasts of bubblegum pop of Buck”s beloved Television are all over the herky-jerky “”Windmill.”” A mashup of ”60s downer vibes and rootsy rumblings makes up the marvelous “”Second Life”” whereas “”Come Back Shelley”” is all swagger and glitz in the style of a lost glam rock 45. There ain”t nothing this band can”t do with the wet clay of rock music and what they sculpt out of it is pure art.
