Dwarr - Starting Over

• Following on the heels of last year’s acclaimed reissue of Dwarr’s hard rock masterpiece ‘Animals’, Drag City and Yoga Records proudly present Duane Warr’s first testament, a 1984 home- recorded    rock-metal-blues    shredder    unlike anything else, a true outlier from the heart of the conformist 80s. Call it outsider art if it makes you feel better.

• ‘Starting Over’ straddles and struts in beast-like fashion, simultaneously triumphant and woozy. Squealing guitars, booming garbage-can drums, shredding bass, chiming bells and even a little psychy flute boot your caboose all about the ring, against the turnbuckle and through the ropes.

• While ‘Animals’ was full-on hard-rock, leaning towards metal, ‘Starting Over’ is a slightly lighter, more eclectic Dwarr ride, adding up to something more accessible yet wildly black-holed.

•    Collectors, you can toss away your £350 originals, this one’s been completely re-mastered by the man himself and the difference is huge.
