“Another Beefheart cover from Strictly Personal, a kind of psychotic Americana!”
Noise-baptized and beautifully unhinged: Dino DiMuro tackles Trout Mask Replica with raw, note-faithful reverence on Old Fart At Play, playing and singing everything himself, while Beatle Bones 'n Smokin' Stones reimagines Beefheart's Strictly Personal classic with psychotic Americana flair and all manner of new sonic clothing. Song for a Gorgeous Blonde weaves dense keyboards with inventive guitar figures on "Annicka den trolösa." Meanwhile, Chris of Wilderness serves scorched-earth blues and alien electronics on Lithium and a Lollipop, and Padded Waltz lets shame and insecurity narrate their own haunting story on Hand Me Down.
