Millionaire: We Don't Live There Anymore / For A Maid

Millionaire For a Maid I own this: 0 users / add your name
by Mike Diver
Remember Soundgarden? Like Queens Of The Stone Age? Still air guitar in front of the bedroom mirror, albeit with the sludgiest riffs firmly in mind?

Buy this. Right now.

Millionaire return to the stoner-cum-desert-cum-bass-heavy-bastard rock fray wielding a monster of a double-A-sided seven inch. 'We Don't Live There Anymore' possesses the kind of hypnotic guitar work and drugged-to-comatose vocals that producer Josh Homme would've killed for on his day job's latest long-player. The flipside, 'For A Maid', is a more immediate effort, the choppy riffs and squealed vocals coming on like the bizarre product of a melting pot containing PJ Harvey, some scenesterfied tight-tee'ed types and Kyuss, spat out through the poisonous throat of a gargantuan snake and onto the sizzling hotplate of a cowboy-hatted redneck, ready for gutting back.

The album, Paradisiac, follows later this year. Expect to rock the fuck out.

    I've always thought of Millionaire as a little snake hipped and funky, rather than stoner rock, although I guess there could be some Parliamentary common ground there... can't really figure out why they'd ever get compared to Soundgarden, though. Of course... it's a shame the Evil Superstars aren't still around. Anyone know what the singer did with himself??

    What chrisnettleton said. Unless this is a new direction for them. I think the Evil Superstars singer finally joined dEUS didn't he?

    The Evil Superstars are still one of the best bands I have ever seen live....

      the hidden track on their album sounds like Brainiac.

        Outside the simian flock is THE soundtrack to sex. Awesome album to "fuck" to. Seriously.

          That comment is funny, especially when your name is 'Gashwrecker'...

      Nah. Mauro only filled in like Timmy filled in for a while for the band. They're just really, really good friends. Mauro is in his own band - Mauro & The Grooms. & various other acts..

      I hate you for having seen ES, though. :(
