When London-based Welsh band The Tubs released their single I Don’t Know How It Works<\/em><\/a> in early 2020, I couldn’t help but order the 7″ right away. It was one of my favorite songs of that year, leaving me wanting more. Finally here’s the full-length debut album, entitled Dead Meat<\/em><\/a>, from the musicians who earned their sores in Joanna Gruesome, Ex-V\u00f6id and Sniffany & The Nits. You’ll hear nine strum & thrum jangle pop songs with somewhat bitter or miserable lyrics, lavishly laced with dynamic post-punk and traditional folk-rock elements (Felt, The Jam and Richard & Linda Thompson are mentioned as influences<\/a>, in addition to Cleaners From Venus and the Flying Nun catalog). They sound like the record is spinning just a tad too slow, maybe that’s what makes this music so intriguing. Previously released tracks I Don’t Know How It Works<\/em>, Two Person Love<\/em> and Illusion<\/em><\/a> (re-presented here as Illusion Pt. II<\/em>) are included, but re-recorded in a slightly different version. Lead single Sniveller<\/em> and closing track Wretched Lie<\/em> are the new highlights of this great LP, with\u00a0 respectively a melody and a chorus that keeps haunting your head. Just saying: I already ordered it.<\/p>\n
