Once your needle has dropped to the end of side one, it’s only going back to the beginning again. »

the ridiculously prolific bay area band thee oh sees are back with another full-length long-player. 'warm slime' is guaranteed to please fans of their whacked-out garage / psych / punk jams. recorded by sacramento sultan of sound chris woodhouse, 'warm slime' carries on in the same tradition as the group's previous in the red release, 'help', showcasing their more electrified and rocking side, in comparison toother recent home-recorded releases. the centerpiece is undoubtedly the mind-bending title track, which clocks in at nearly 14 minutes and takes up the entirety of the album's first side. it's a psychedelic epic of 'inna gadda da vida' proportions! john dwyer's guitar playing is at its 'quadraspazzed' best here, and the vocal interplay with brigid dawson gives it a b52s-at-their-least-cheesy-crossed-with-the-troggs vibe. the results are stunning.
