As I suggested I might, this is another project from one my favorites, King Khan. Instead of being with fellow Montreal musicians Mark Sultan or Bloodshot Bill, this is with Jasper Hood of Moorat Fingers. It is quintessentially what Khan is all about, punk made lo-fi as all fuck with silly lyrics. I'll be the first to admit though that this isn't nearly a catchy or well done as the King Khan & BBQ Show albums nor is it as conceptually curious as Tandoori Knights. However, all this is a bit more expected once informed that this album was actually recorded in 2001. Apparently King Khan just held on to without releasing the Black Jaspers for years but finally felt that 2009 was the year to do so. Thus the more primitive sound the reminds one of a very stripped down Spaceshits makes more sense. Boy howdy, did I ever go link heavy here. Anyhow, hope this tickles your fancy.To be had here:

In 2000 he released that notable Shrines song "Torture" and he has no songwriting credits for the Spaceshits at all, at least none for the two albums and most of the other stuff was written when he was in another band. So there was no evolution from Spaceshits to the Shrines through this if that's what's being suggested here.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't suggesting any direct evolution between the Spaceshits to the Shrines. Rather was saying that this reminds of the Spaceshits more than the Shrines. Thanks for the information and insight though, keep commenting cause I'll be the first to admit I am winging some of this shit.
