DeBaser hosts one review of Awesome Color’s Electric Aborigines, saluting the opener Eyes Of Light and the band’s MC5/Stooges-fueled blast. The write-up praises their raw, youthful focus and stylistic nods to NYC punk-funk and early Funkadelic, with a bluesy closer. Overall tone: enthusiastic about the album’s high points and the group’s Detroit lineage.
