A supergroup if there ever was one, featuring a disparate bunch of players with backgrounds ranging from the Cramps, Bad Seeds, Sonic Youth and Boss Hog.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The melting pot once cooled produces a hectic but concentrated rockabilly numbers not too dissimilar from Tom Wait&#8217;s rockier 90s output. Though sounding a bit coarse at first, this is definitely a recording that improves with repeat listens.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I realise that sometimes material leaning towards a Country sound or a Western edge can raise a red (confederate) flag for many, but with its New York alt-rock leanings, this record owes as much to the Velvets as it does to Sun Records.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The organ sounds here brings a lot of identity to the record and provides great flow linking up the very interesting and but different compositions track by track, much like hip hop beats can hold Beck&#8217;s albums in line.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Ranging from dirgey toe-tappers to heart-wrenching ballads, &#8216;In a Ripped Dress&#8217; will transport you to places you&#8217;ve only read about or seen in Road Movies with your own personal score to accompany you.
