Reigning Sound - "Break It" from LOVE AND CURSES

Besides Mick Collins, another devil-wizard of the genre is Greg - Oblivians - Cartwright. Legendary with the Oblivians, immense with the Compulsive Gamblers, and superb with this other magnificent creation of his.

With Too Much Guitar, you say to yourself, “okay, he made the masterpiece album with his Reigning Sound,” and instead this cursed bastard takes a whole five years and hits you with a wonderful album, a “moody & melancholic” side - his words - of the Oblivians sound. You can't define it… it takes you back to adolescence with sounds full of sixties moods, R&B, soul, but also imbued with that traditional American sound...
And with that bastard voice, winking… despite the 17 octaves of the “great singer” which I couldn’t care less about... that animates this splendid bastard…
