Movement

VINYL FORMAT. When 22 year-old Beth Ditto soul-croons "Well honey honey, honey, honey /I could be so good to you baby," you want her to--badly. The Gossip's second full length outing Movement transcends elementary roots riot garage, injects it with a hefty helpin' of Arkansas-bred gospel and filters it backwards through Gories and Pussy Galore territory with a new, more pervasively unapologetic confidence. The band has grown new wings and given loft to some of their more expressive experimentalist leanings and put their back into the four on the floor stomp. The result? A swaggering throw down of hip-shakingly blooze punk fix, a party album for the revolution, a queer-positive call to arms - by way of the delta; or more simply - a brillant album.
