An album that starts off with a bang with the visceral three minutes of "Why": nervous, sharp, searing guitars. It continues in the same consistent way for much of "Melting in the Dark," Steve Wynn's fourth solo album. Forget the clear Folk Rock of the previous "Fluorescent".
Darkness predominates; the instruments scream, the rhythms thicken, the lyrics burn with life. An album more of the gut than the head; which brings Steve closer to the dirty and disjointed sound of the very first Dream Syndicate.
Before there was Kendra Smith with him; now there are Thalia Zedek and the band Come to invigorate the glories of the past. And the result is the same.
A wall of sound worthy of the memorable days of wine and roses. Overflowing tributes to Television, Velvet Underground, Lou Reed.
Forty-five minutes to listen to in apnea, immersed in a series of tracks that overflow with strength, anger, noise. Running out of oxygen until the final title track: a long acid-psychedelic mantra saturated with electric lashes.
Eternal is my musical love for the boy from Los Angeles.
Ad Maiora.
