Tomlab Alphabet Series - W

VINYL FORMAT. Numbers emerges from the dusk of last year's full-length, Now You Are This, with a pair of rollicking jams that refuse to let the summer set from our hearts and minds. "Is That Really True?" takes on the heavy question of real knowledge with a fuzz bass and drone organ before turning to an irresistible hum-along chorus. And prevailing question remains: "What can we know?" On the flip, the Tommy James and the Shondells classic "Crimson and Clover" experiences a fuzz rock reawakening shot through by pointedly triumphant guitars and dirty synth. All builds to an end with a brilliant reenactment of the tremolo chant "Crimson and Clover - over and over..." Summer may go, but it won't be gone forever.
