Vessels
Although it’s described as ‘great music to punch cones to’ by certain street press, Wolf & Cub’s debut album Vessels is more intelligent and dynamic than uni students on a couch after a bucket-bong.
Admittedly it’s dark, and has moments that will make you sway (‘Hammond’), but all in all it is probably more likely to make you dance (‘This Mess’, ‘Rozalia Bizzare’), than pass out. Signed to 4AD, (home of TV On The Radio, The Pixies and Mountain Goats) the album was recorded in Adelaide and mixed in
Glasgow by Tony Doogan who has worked with bands such as Belle & Sebastian and Super Furry Animals.
For things to be explosive they first need to be volatile and Vessels - born from wide-ranging influences and fuelled by two drum kits – certainly is that. Admittedly the method that exists behind the madness of Wolf & Cub is hard to pinpoint, yet the resulting debut is definitely worth some psychiatric analysis.
