Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Plastic Fang

Plastic Fang by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

4...according to our on Tue 16 Jan, 2007.

Jon Spencer releases his 40th LP this week on Mute and it's name is Plastic Fang. The vinyl and ltd CD come in a special novelty type package thing. I think it's supposed to emulate the crap jokes and toys you'd get from joke shops when you were kid on holiday in Blackpool (though I don't think they were exclusive to Blackpool and that sort of packaging has been used outside of that particular northern seaside resort) This I didn't like at first. But I banged it on this morn to give it another go and I like it much more. Again it's very polished but the songs shine through on repeated listens and it's not half bad at all. It's still blues rock but there's a little more of the 70's Rolling Stones in there. And a special mention to Mr Spencer's new sideys/ chops which are simply stunning. Nice.
