TRUTH BUTTON

Truth Button is the latest album from KingBathmat, a psychedelic-prog band with a fast, heavy style of space rock reminiscent of the Bevis Frond playing hard rock. The sound of the album is raw and unpolished, and whilst the quality of the performances are quite consistent, the album offers few standout moments, giving the overall impression of a piece knocked out in a hurry without an awful lot of thought being given to polishing the compositions. The spontaneity expressed in the band's sound will doubtless appeal to some listeners so if you're into hard- edged psychedelic rock with a modern bent it's not a terrible choice, but I wouldn't throw any parades for it just yet.
