Here's the story: The tape from said session was sent to Daptone HQ with only a small note that said: T. Benny and the Buzz Brothers - For Wick - Conceived at a smokey late-night session at Diamond Mine Studio, in Long Island City. No information about the musicians or personnel was shared, but upon hearing, the Daptone braintrust promptly called Diamond Mine to exclaim "WE WANT THIS RECORD!"
Anonymity aside, these mysterious folks have turned out two of the most exciting instrumental tunes of late! The A-Side "Gimme A Buzz", upon first look, one may expect a homage to any number of intoxicating substances - but it is in fact - a Link Wray inspired mauler that is a three minute sonic knee-to-the-face. The searing guitar lead over the unassailable groove builds a hellish beast upon a surf-rock skeleton that seductively lures the listener into oblivion. The flip-side, The Drought, is a brooding dirge whose relentless riff and doom-inspired, repetitive thump sounds like a ritualistic melody used to conjure an unholy bringer of ruination. A darkly satisfying instrumental offering. Fingers crossed we'll hear more from this group soon. Pre-order the new single right here. It's out August 24. Limited random colour vinyl (1 per person) available while they last!
