Far-Out Fangtooth “Borrowed Time” (Siltbreeze Records, 2013)

It is pretty rare for a band to have their sound change so
much from their first record and not only keep the old fans but gain new ones
as well. With the second full length release for Far-Out Fangtooth you still
hear the death rock influence of Christian Death but they are not afraid to
push the sound into different territories. Perhaps being on Siltbreeze has
influenced the music because I definitely hear a more clear lush pop influence
in the music, maybe these guys were listening to Galaxie 500 and early MBV. But
even with the obviously dreamy pop sounds they still get mixed well into the
experimental noise we loved so much from the first record. Would it be a far
throw to say this sounds like a more accessible Sonic Youth? If this is the
path these guys are headed down I can only imagine how amazing these guys will
get further down the road. Pour yourself a strong cup of coffee, smoke a
cigarette or a left handed cigarette if you got them and let this be the record
you start your day with!
