Big Blood - The Grove

Yet another Big Blood album that is wildly good. Big Blood get their rock on for this album with electric guitars and such. 'The Grove is Hotter Than an Ocean's Oven' is a killer opener (AGAIN!) and the third track, 'In the Light of the Moon' is one of my favourite songs ever ("I already feel defeated and I'm still in bed"). The lyrics and the song are fucking excellent.

This album is from 2007, the year where they recorded another 5 albums (Including their best one). Personally I don't think their is one filler song on any of these 5 albums, or any of their albums for that matter. Another of my favourites on this album is 'Something Brighter than the News'. They are totally channeling The Sun City Girls in this one, but of course it doesn't sound nearly as bat-shit crazy (I should do a post on a Sun City Girls album soon). I love how Big Blood will sometimes channel a particular artist of style of music but it still always sounds distinctively like Big Blood.

They get fucking raucous (well sorta, for them at least) on this. 'Beast (1 Beast)' is a fucking foot stomper, also the slide guitar is bitchin'. In fact slide guitar features quite a bit on this album ('No Gravity Blues' and 'Low Gravity Blues'). The following song, 'Restless Purity' has it! This song is so amazing. It is somewhat raw sounding (as is this album in general), featuring only vocals, guitar (electric and some slide guitar) and some flutes in the background (am I missing anything?) Anyway it is a hard one to describe, but it is TITS. I guess it is another Big Blood song with a kick-arse melody and the unbelievably awesome vocals of Colleen Kinsella.

Anyway this is the fourth Big Blood album I have done in a row. I sort of wanted to do a bunch of them at once, probably because they are essentially the only band I am listening to at the moment. I think I will still do a couple more (at least 1 because I still need to do Space Gallery). But yeah apologies to anyone who is bored of only reading about Big Blood. But if you don't like Big Blood I am going to assume that you are a fucking moron. Nah I kid, I kid. Anyway here is the download link (I am just using one I found on megaupload not one I uploaded myself, so hopefully it is decent).
