I saw them at the Link in 1998 or 1999, and found them confusing and unconstructive. On the other hand I was there to see Will Oldham and I was not prepared to put up with this wild and iconoclastic trio, very dependent on the frontman De Dionyso. Soon ended up on the cover of Blow Up, not a little incensed. A truly unique performer, influenced by Captain Beefheart Nick Cave and the first use of the voice, dedicated to schitarrate crooked or raids sax man possessed, making up sketches schizophrenia, and obsessive monochrome. But also to be given great credit for Elvrum, really the ideal drummer for this kind of sound, not a case for following a path on their own, as the Microphones.
Now, listen, I appreciate it more definitely. The ravages of mini- Giant Boat, Jail, Hot oven, Casino, the highlights of the disc, such as punches hit in the stomach. The filter of post-punk blues atomic clogged, heart-rending scenes as Johnny Applecast Broken or bowl, a wire few tunes more accessible ( Archaeopteryx claw, close to some of the first things Grifters, voice included), complete the framework Uterus And Fire convinced me more than ten years away. What is called visceral.
