Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats
The early history of this strange band with the wonderfully
hippy-esque name
is shrouded in some mystery,
as apparently there is some doubt as to whether Uncle Acid's
henchmen (or were they henchwomen?),
"Kat" and "Red", ever even existed.
Regardless, the Uncle himself (going by the name Kevin Starrs)
has carved a nice niche for himself, blending
plenty of 60's and 70's influences (this is one of the most analog
bands you'll hear) with early proto-doom to great effect.
The debut, 2010's
Volume 1, is their most 60's-influenced album,
with Starr's unique, whiny, Lennon-esque vocals inducing
a demented Beatles vibe
(kind of like a lo-fi version of
Bigelf),
while on the later efforts they've honed their quite original
brand of laid-back,
hazy, psychedelic, horror-tinged stoner/occult/doom.
These guys probably aren't destined for superstardom, but Starrs'
vision is quite unique and the band's music is interesting, strangely
catchy and spooky in all the right ways.
